Umbro is a British sportswear and football brand founded in 1924, currently owned by Iconix Brand Group. Best known for its football kits and sponsorships, Umbro has a strong retail presence in Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Its reliance on Delta Galil Industries, an Israeli textile manufacturer with production facilities in illegal West Bank settlements, as a licensed production partner has directly entangled Umbro in the economics of occupation.
Boycotting brands that source from Delta Galil Industries is high impact. Brands that rely on Delta Galil are actively profiting from the infrastructure of apartheid.
Delta Galil operates in occupied territory, using land stolen from Palestinians, under a legal and military framework designed to oppress them. Brands like Nike, Adidas, and Victoria’s Secret have made no public effort to cut ties, despite years of evidence.
Delta-linked brands are financially sustaining illegal occupation. Economic pressure here is both strategic and urgent. Cutting ties with Delta Galil doesn’t just send a message, it disrupts one of the lesser-known but powerful engines of Zionist expansion.
