Umbro Training Wear for Football Clubs
Umbro training tops, quarter-zips, half-zip midlayers, training tees, and warm-up jackets are available for grassroots squads, schools, and semi-pro clubs, plain or finished in your club colours with your crest. At SX Sports, we have supplied teamwear since 2001 as a genuine Umbro teamwear supplier, so everything on this page is genuine Umbro training wear.
If you are putting a full kit together rather than just session gear, start with the wider Umbro teamwear range and build from there.
Umbro Training Tops Explained
An Umbro training top is a lightweight layer worn for warm-ups and full training sessions, either on its own or under a jacket. In this range, that means the Umbro Total Training 1/4 Zip, the Club Essential and Maxium half-zip sweatshirts, and the Team Training Shirt for warmer sessions. A quarter-zip or half-zip top sits in the gap most squads feel in October: warmer than a short-sleeve training tee, far lighter than a padded jacket, and quick to pull on and off at the side of the pitch when a substitute is getting ready.
Clubs tend to use a training top in 2 ways. The first is as the squad's main session layer from September through to spring, worn week in, week out for drills, small-sided games, and coaching sessions. The second is as a matchday warm-up layer over the shirt, where a consistent club colour and crest do the most work in shaping how your team looks when it walks out.
One point to clear up: Umbro also sells a heritage drill top, the retro 1990s silhouette that shows up in fashion listings and resale sites. That is a lifestyle garment rather than squad kit, and it is not part of this collection. The tops here come from Umbro's teamwear training lines, made to be ordered in club colours, personalised, and reordered season after season.
Training Tops, Quarter-Zips, and Warm-Up Layers
The training range covers quarter-zip and half-zip training tops, short-sleeve training shirts, polos, base layers, training pants, and warm-up and rain jackets, so a squad can be kitted out for the whole calendar rather than just 1 part of it. Short-sleeve training shirts handle July and August pre-season sessions. The quarter-zip comes in as the nights draw in, giving players a bit of adjustable ventilation when they are moving between drills and standing listening to the coach. Base layers go underneath when it turns cold, and a padded or rain jacket is the January item, worn over everything else on a cold pitchside.
Layering is the practical point here. Pieces from the same Umbro range, such as Club Essential or Maxium, share the same colour family and look, so a player can add or remove a layer without the squad looking mismatched. That matters more than it sounds when you have 18 players and the temperature drops between the warm-up and the final whistle.
Clubs completing a full training set usually add Umbro tracksuits and jackets for travel and benchwear, plus Umbro bottoms and shorts, so the bottom half matches too. For cold and wet sessions, Umbro base layers and Umbro coats and rain jackets cover what goes underneath and over the top. Our SX Sports team can advise on which pieces sit in the same range and which colourways are currently available in both junior and adult sizes.
A Consistent Look for Every Session
Most grassroots clubs have lived the alternative: 18 players arriving at training in 18 different tops, 3 of them in last season's kit, and a new signing in whatever was in the car. It looks scruffy, and it quietly tells young players that training is the bit that does not count.
Ordering training wear as a squad fixes that, and a managed club shop keeps it fixed. Instead of the kit officer collecting sizes on a WhatsApp group and chasing payments from 6 different parents, we build your club an online shop with your approved garments, colours, and badge already loaded. Players and parents order directly from it, and we handle fulfilment. Nobody is counting cash in a clubhouse on a Thursday night.
The other benefit is continuity. Because your garments and colours are locked into the shop, a reorder in February lands on the same top in the same shade as the order you placed in July, and season 2 matches season 1. We have been working with grassroots clubs since 2001, and the process is built around volunteers with day jobs rather than procurement departments, because they are the ones who actually place these orders.

Umbro Training Wear: FAQs
How long does personalised Umbro training wear take to arrive?
How long does personalised Umbro training wear take to arrive?
Printed Umbro training wear typically takes around 2 to 3 weeks from order approval, and embroidered orders around 3 to 4 weeks, covering stock allocation, printing or embroidery, and despatch. We can't guarantee fixed delivery dates because lead times vary throughout the year, and June to October is our busiest window. Plain, unbranded stock usually moves faster. Contact us with your order size and deadline, and we will confirm the realistic turnaround before you commit.
Can parents order Umbro training wear directly instead of going through the club?
Can parents order Umbro training wear directly instead of going through the club?
Yes. We set up managed online club shops where parents and players order and pay for their own items, with your approved garments, colours, and crest already configured. The club secretary does not collect sizes, handle cash, or distribute orders. It is the single biggest admin saving we offer, so talk to us about setting one up for your club. Parents can also buy individual pieces from our main collections without a club shop.
Is there a minimum order for custom Umbro training tops?
Is there a minimum order for custom Umbro training tops?
We work with squads of all sizes and routinely handle small orders, including single customised items for a new signing or a coach. There is no large minimum quantity standing in your way. Some specific garments or colourways carry supplier-side ordering conditions, and bulk pricing improves as quantities rise. Tell us the numbers you are working with, and we will set out the options clearly.
Can you add player names, initials, and squad numbers to Umbro training tops?
Can you add player names, initials, and squad numbers to Umbro training tops?
Yes. We add squad numbers, player initials, full names, role titles for coaching staff, and sponsor logos, all printed or embroidered in-house at Canvey Island. Numbers and initials on training wear usually sit on the chest or sleeve rather than the back. Send us a list in a spreadsheet, and we will match each name to a size so nothing gets mixed up on the day it lands.
Can we reorder Umbro training tops mid-season for new signings?
Can we reorder Umbro training tops mid-season for new signings?
Yes, and it is one of the most common requests we get in January. We keep your artwork, colours, and garment choice on file, so a reorder matches what the rest of the squad is already wearing rather than arriving in a slightly different shade. Availability depends on the Umbro range still being in stock, which is why we flag at the point of order if a colourway is likely to be discontinued.
Do you offer better pricing on bulk squad orders?
Do you offer better pricing on bulk squad orders?
Yes. Pricing improves with volume, and clubs ordering training wear for multiple teams rather than 1 squad see the biggest benefit. We quote custom orders individually because garment choice, print method, and quantity all affect the price. Please send us your squad numbers, and we will provide a written quote.
Can a personalised Umbro kit be returned or exchanged?
Can a personalised Umbro kit be returned or exchanged?
Items personalised with your crest, names, numbers, or sponsor logos are made to your specification, so they fall outside the standard cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. They cannot be returned simply because of a change of mind. Faulty or incorrectly produced items are a different matter, and we will always put those right. For plain, unbranded stock, squad and bulk orders of more than 5 items fall under our business terms, and Umbro items on those orders cannot be returned or cancelled, which is why we confirm sizes with you before ordering. Smaller personal orders follow our standard consumer returns terms, set out on our delivery and returns page.
