Soccer-Umbro scrambles to meet demand for shirts from devastated team

December 1, 2016 By publisher

By Brad Haynes CHAPECO, Brazil, Dec 1 (Reuters) – An outpouring of support for the Brazilian soccer team devastated by an air crash this week has nearly wiped out retailers’ inventory of their shirts, forcing an emergency meeting with producer Umbro for an extra run. Ivan Tozzo, acting president of the Chapecoense club, said in an interview on Thursday that he had met the day before with local Umbro representatives to discuss ramping up production. Demand has been so overwhelming that the nearest Umbro factory does not have enough of the proper fabric to make jerseys for all the Brazilian clubs requesting commemorative editions ahead of the final game of the season.
