UMBRO has unveiled its 2026 'how to make a wish' campaign with NCT WISH. The collaboration drags football archives straight into streetwear territory, reinterpreting classic jersey codes with weight and edge. The 'Derby Club' line mixes heavy HBL signatures with Americana vintage, bending the clean grammar of traditional football gear one stitch at a time.
The real disruption lands in 'District 11.' Built on street football culture, the range layers cracked lettering and rough washes over deliberately broken silhouettes. Cropped tops clash with oversized pants, pushing the uniform off the pitch and into the block. The proportions are wrong on purpose, and that's the point.
NCT WISH stands at the center. Each of the six members wears a different archive combination, embodying street football's new face. There's no rule that says you need a field to wear the kit. Whether a jersey needs to get this fancy becomes a moot question when the street says yes.
UMBRO has redrawn the boundary of football uniforms, stretching it into the urban grid. Where do you want to wear your football?
