The preparation for the start of the 2009-10 season is starting to pick up the pace and are starting to see more transfer activity of the first division teams. Early transfer activity has been very much dominated by Real Madrid, but now that seems to be almost finished his spending spree is now reduced if the Premiership clubs to start their preparations for next season. Part of this preparation is to make the new shirts for the new season with most teams now released the latest designs and what is surprising is that produces the shirts for more Umbro Premier teams than any other manufacturer, in fact, producing the same number shirt Premiership teams like Adidas and Nike combined.

Nike and Adidas are thought of as the Umbro brands, but have shown their dominance in the Premier League through the production of shirts for 6 premiership teams this year – Birmingham City, Blackburn Rovers, West Ham, Manchester City, Sunderland and Hull. This is a great achievement for Umbro, which also produce shirts for the national team. This shows that they are able to offer designs that compete with the best brands. This success in England really is not seen in Europe, where they still are not very well represented, but it is expected that their growing presence in England may lead to break into the European market larger. Umbro have a presence in most leagues in Britain, the keepers in the SPL abroad, but progress has been slow.

Despite Nike and Adidas individually have less teams in the Premiership Umbro, which have the highest league T-shirt sales in England and has the largest team. Adidas Chelsea and Liverpool, while Nike's Arsenal, Aston Villa, Fulham and Man Utd these 6 teams were in the top 7 in the Premier League last season shows that, while not as many teams, individually, have the highest selling and most popular shirts in the Premiership. Umbro had the other top finisher 7 of last season with Everton, which has changed since then its manufacturer Le Coq Sportif shirt.

The remaining 8 teams in the Premier League have 6 different retailers with Le Coq Sportif shirt manufacturing of three teams with all other brands of manufacturing only one each. The diversity of Premier shirt manufacturers has enabled us in recent years to see the different designs and manufacturers who have never been in the Premier League before. Portsmouth is the only team or have your shirt made by Canterbury, who was the first time we've really seen a brand associated with rugby kit of a premiership team. Similarly Vandanel kit manufactured Wiggins this season, which is the first time which will be manufactured a shirt of the Premiership.

Premier shirt sales should start to take off in the next two months as the extent of the firm has done really begins to show. Furthermore, once the season starts in the new shirts interest really starts to peak especially if the players start the season well. Nike and Adidas will again, far more sell shirts in the Premiership this season with all teams in the release of new kits for the 2009-10 season. Nike and Adidas usually always have two teams in each of the four finalists in the league, so it will be interesting to see if any other brand can enter the top four in the Premiership or even Nike can turn in their favor. Whatever happens, it's sure to be an interesting season that certainly see strong sales in the Premiership jerseys.
