Bangor City 1876 Football Club has unveiled an exciting new multi-year partnership with Danish sportswear giant Hummel, marking a significant step forward for the club.
As the club enters a new era, Hummel will supply all first-team and youth kits, training wear, and associated kit-related merchandise.
A statement on the club’s website read: “The partnership was formally agreed this week, following a meeting at Bangor City Stadium with the owners of Hummel, marking the start of a new and exciting era both on and off the pitch.
“From the 2025/26 season, the men’s, women’s and junior teams will wear bespoke Hummel kits. We’ve been working closely with Hummel to develop designs that honour our history, reflect the spirit of our community and showcase the ambition driving the Club forward. These kits are more than just a new look – they symbolise a bold new chapter for Bangor, and we can’t wait to share them with our supporters.
“As part of the deal, Hummel are pleased to announce they’ll be opening a franchise to be located in the city centre. The new retail space will bring new energy to Bangor High Street, offering access to Hummel’s iconic sportswear while helping to reinvigorate the local shopping landscape.
“This is a step that reflects our shared belief that football is about more than just the stadium – it’s about the whole city, and the people who make it what it is.
“This new venture will provide local sports clubs and supporters with direct access to premium custom sportswear and kit solutions, further strengthening Sports Pro Ltd’ commitment to serving the sporting community in North Wales. Chris Kirby, spokesperson for Sports Pro Ltd, stated, “We are proud to expand our presence in Wales and look forward to supporting Bangor’s vibrant sporting culture with our dedicated franchise on the High Street.’’
“The relationship will be the first of its kind and will benefit the community in and out of the stadium, creating growth and employment opportunities for the city and surrounding areas. We’ll be sharing more soon as this exciting partnership continues to progress.”
Nick Pritchard, Chairperson of Bangor City 1876 FC, said: “This is more than just a kit deal – it’s a bold step forward for the Club and the wider community. From creating bespoke designs that our players and fans will be proud to wear, to launching the first Hummel franchise in Wales right here in Bangor – this partnership is rooted in ambition, growth and a shared belief in what this city can achieve. We’re building something special, and this marks a major milestone in that journey.”
More information, including official kit launch dates and the first look at the new designs, will be shared over the coming months via the Club’s official channels.
