The Umbro Pro Training SS16 collection is a 1990's-inspired take from the British sportswear brand. The recently announced range features a variety of classic 1990's color palettes that will instantly transport the individual back in time. The well-timed collection serves as a celebration of this year's upcoming Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro and the UEFA European Championships.
The collection includes a number of bold looks that feature prominent references to the brand's double-chevron logo, as well as England-related prints, given the brand's birthplace. Accompanying the announcment of the collection is a short film that serves as a lookbook, which was directed by The Rig Out.
The Umbro Pro Training SS16 line is currently available for purchase online and at retailers including Size UK.
