Umbro launch Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen 'Stealth Collection' Two total black capsules with clear references to the history of the two cities
Digging into the history of the two clubs, of which Umbro has been kit supplier since 2018, Umbro unveiled two A/W capsules for Werder Bremen and Schalke 04. The 'Stealth Collection' uses the same concept - black garments with tone-on-tone inserts that create a look inspired by stealth technology used, for example, to make military aircraft less visible - but differ in the details that are based on traditional elements of the two cities. Both capsules have the same basic characteristics, both in terms of the range of the collection and the absence of club colours, with Umbro and club logos barely visible. The Werder's Stealth Collection stands out for the key of Bremen - a symbol of the city that refers to the coat of arms of the archdiocese of Bremen - that appears on the t-shirt and on the jacket, while the Schalke 04 features the claim 'Auf Kohle Gebohren' ('born from coal'), in reference to the mining city of Gelsenkirchen, home of the Schalke.
