Didn't hear it myself, but apparently they announced a special event 24 minutes into the game, which turned out to be the advert for umbro. Is there a significance to the number 24?
We reached the premier league wearing an umbro kit on 24th may 2008 maybe?
It was to reflect the year Umbro was founded - 1924.
love this vid by City n Umbro

Did City use Umbro before 2007?
I know they supplied goalkeeper shirts to Wealands and McKechnie but that was in the first half of the 70s before the insignia wars kicked in.
Not according to this: http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Hull_City/Hull_City.htm
So who supplied the kit up to 1975?
May well have been Umbro (see my previous post)
The first ever kit on there is wrong as we played in black and amber stripes not white shirts.
they played in the white kit when they were formed in 1904 but could only play in friendlies, they changed to black and amber for the 04/05 season starting
The kit was always black and amber.
Except in the seasons when it was either white or blue.
There doesn't seem to be a specific kick supplier pre 1975.So who supplied the kit up to 1975?
