“So I imagine they’ve stated to Beneath Armour: ‘Provided we can get someone who will match what you are spending us, we’re willing to go alongside with what you want.’
“I believe everybody’s a winner right here. As you say, Southampton have a historic romantic relationship with Hummel. They used to deliver some truly good kits for them so I feel there will be a passionate affiliation with them as a previous package maker.
“Under Armour, it makes it possible for them to go in the route they want to go.”
Hummel created Southampton’s kits amongst 1987 and 1991, with Colin Clarke, Matt Le Tissier and Alan Shearer between the gamers to sport the styles.
