OUR GUIDELINES

BRAND GUIDELINES 2 Welcome to the Umbro Brand Guidelines, a document that we hope will provide you with all the direction you need for all aspects of your work. Design information on everything from signage to shin pads is included here for you to reference and work from. This is an exciting time in Umbro’s history, as we approach our 90th anniversary and look to re-establish the brand as one of the most important names in football. To do this, we need to show a unified look and feel across every aspect of the business, in every country of the world and at every level of the game. With your help, we can ensure that wherever someone connects with Umbro, they know what they’re going to get: quality, insight, and great design all delivered with style. The heart and soul of football. THE PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT The Brand Guidelines are here to help; to organise and point you in the right direction so that you can work towards making Umbro the greatest football brand in the world. Think of it like a great football manager, directing the tactics and confidence of the team so that the players can get out there on the pitch and show off your skills. Only, instead of a chalkboard and some training bibs, you’ve got this document. All the files that you’ll need to keep Umbro looking at its best can be found on the Umbro Asset Manager system. You’ll be sent full details on how to log on and use the system as well, so you can take Umbro forward with confidence.

BRAND GUIDELINES 4 OUR LOGO Any company with 90 years of experience will have been through a few different looks and incarnations, and Umbro is no exception. Now, as we look to the future, regaining our place at the heart of football and the world that surrounds it, we need to ensure that we have a clear, easily understood identity that unites the brand wherever we are in the world. That’s why we want you to use the stacked double diamond Umbro logo. It’s our symbol, our emblem, our club crest. It’s easily identifiable, and regularly associated with Umbro at its best - on the pitch, on the feet of players, and the kits that they’re wearing, as well as in the stands and on the supporters that are passionately cheering on their team.

BRAND GUIDELINES 6 LEGIBILITY Think of our logo like a star player - it needs to be protected and allowed to stand out. In order to make our logo stand out and keep it free from interference with other objects, we have set up a clearance area around it. This area is defined by the height of the inner diamond. We use this measurement to give us the height and width of the clearance zone. This area should stay clear from other logos, text or graphics, to ensure that our logo has maximum standout. OUR LOGO RULES Using the stacked double diamond Umbro logo is essential if we are to be consistent across all our facets of the brand (product, communications, retail), so it’s important that we use it correctly. Wherever possible, the stacked double diamond Umbro logo should be used in black. Pantone Black CMYK 0%C 0%M 0%Y 100%K Please see ‘Logo Offences’ for examples of how not to apply this logo. If using the black logo on a background or image that would affect its legibility, we use the white-out version. White CMYK 0%C 0%M 0%Y 0%K Please note that this is not a boxed logo. Black logo example White-out logo example S2 Width: 13mm Height: 8.5mm MINIMUM PRINT SIZE MINIMUM WEB SIZE CLEARANCE AREA Width: 79 pixels Height: 51 pixels

BRAND GUIDELINES 7 Like many things in life, there are exceptions to these rules around our logo. In exceptional circumstances the colour of the Umbro stacked logo can be changed to harmonise with a key partner such as a team, sponsor or an association. Approval must always be given by the Global Brand Marketing Team (see page 5 for contact details) before using such colours. OUR LOGO RULES Exceptional Circumstances S2

BRAND GUIDELINES 8 Don’t distort or interfere with the stacked double diamond Umbro logo. Here are some examples of what NOT to do with the stacked double diamond Umbro logo, all of which are an instant red card offence. DO NOT: Change/tint either of the logotype elements independently or jointly Change the order of the elements. Interfere with the typeface. Add weight to the strokes Add colour to the strokes Add background colour Alter the space between the Double-Diamond and the type Stretch either horizontally or vertically Alter the proportion of the elements in relation to each other Removing the text lock up from the logo Alter the colour of the type Alter the colour of either of the elements OUR LOGO RULES Logo Offences S2

BRAND GUIDELINES 9 Chosen for its combination of balance and clarity, the Trade Gothic family is the perfect manifestation of performance meets style. The Trade Gothic fonts need to be purchased and cannot be used without a license. Visit www.linotype.com to purchase. Contact The Brand Marketing Team if you have any questions regarding this typeface. Headlines should be set in Trade Gothic LT Bold. Sub Headings should use the Trade Gothic LT Regular and be at least twice the size of the body copy. Body copy should be set in the Light or Regular weight depending on what background it is on. If you were using this at a small size or over an image there may be issues with legibility, in which case increase the weight to Regular.

10 OUR TYPOGRAPHY Continued BRAND GUIDELINES Spacing between lines should be generous. This is Trade Gothic Regular at 30pt with 36pt leading. We need to give our type the space to breathe, and make sure that we achieve the best legibility. Fonts have default spacing values which work well at smaller sizes, however, when we increase the size of our type, the space between the letters increases too. So when we are setting large type we may need to reduce the amount of space between the letters by setting the tracking values tighter. Body copy should never be tracked too tight, this severely hinders legibility and looks ill-considered. Instead, if not tracked at (0), it should be given a slightly positive tracking value along with its generous leading to help aid clarity. This type is set at 12pt on 14pt leading with tracking set to (0). Trade Gothic Regular tracking set to (0) Football S2

S2 BRAND GUIDELINES 11 BRAND COLOUR PALETTE Our primary brand colours may be black and white, however we realise the world of football is filled with colour from kits to flags, scarves to stadiums and much more besides. With this in mind, we also like to use the clearest, most common colours found in these situations so that we can keep our message simple and easily understood across our communications. These colours work well together, keeping our messages and communications simple, compelling and beautiful, like the game itself.

We can achieve this with a simple, effective approach. For shoe boxes, we aim to use smart black colour on craft board, while swing tickets should use clean white cardboard.

BRAND GUIDELINES 18 OUR RETAIL IDENTITY - Retail Signage Wherever you are in the world, you want Umbro to stand out from the crowd. If you have your own retail space, its important to do this in a way that fits in with the identity of the brand, with a clean, stylish look. Using the white logo on a black background as in the examples used here for signage creates a eye-catching, clearly defined brand wherever it is positioned. It is also advisable to have the umbro.com URL logo as a sign off in your window. When creating signage the only logo to use is the Umbro stacked double diamond. S2 01. Exterior signage example 02.

BRAND GUIDELINES 21 OUR APPAREL Branding Principles The logo used on apparel is the stacked double diamond Umbro logo, example shown below. This is to be used across all ranges.

BRAND GUIDELINES 22 OUR APPAREL Branding Placement The stacked double diamond Umbro logo should be used to sign off ALL apparel. The primary location for this logo is the right chest (as worn) on upper-body items, and left leg (as worn) on lower body items. If the front panel has a large graphic then the stacked double diamond Umbro logo should be placed on the left sleeve, centrally at the cuff. If the front panel has a large stacked double diamond Umbro logo (see image 04) then no further branding is required. S3 01. Primary location on right chest for upper body items. 04.

BRAND GUIDELINES 32 OUR MARKETING Sign-Off On Printed Items Print items can be used in a number of different circumstances, from posters to advertisements in magazines, but they should all follow the same principles when it comes to the sign off. The stacked double diamond Umbro logo should be used on all occasions, and in black where possible.

As with all our marketing we need to keep points of sale simple, eye-catching and stylish. S4

BRAND GUIDELINES 34 OUR MARKETING Digital The importance of digital in our world grows every day - it’s often the first port of call for customers and fans, and offers a great way to talk about our brand activity. As such, it’s important to maintain a consistent brand identity across all our digital and social media pages. To do this, it’s important to use the stacked double diamond logo example. as a sign off on all sites positioned in the bottom right hand corner of the page. On sites such as Facebook where the page design doesn’t allow for these conventions, please use the stacked double diamond logo in all profile pictures or avatars. Think of it as Umbro’s club crest, proudly displayed wherever possible. S4 01. Twitter page 03. Youtube page 02. Facebook page

BRAND GUIDELINES 35 OUR PHOTOGRAPHY Key Points To Remember Photography is a key part of all our communications, so it is vital that we all create imagery which presents a unified brand message around the world. One simple rule to remember when creating images is to always have a reference to football somewhere in the shot. This doesn’t have to be obvious like someone kicking a ball, it can be something as subtle as the background being a surface that is commonly associated with the game, the tiles of a changing room for example. As long as we always have identifiable references to football in our shots we will create photography which feels authentic and clearly communicates the links that Umbro naturally has with the world of football. Another point to consider is that the style of photography should reflect the collection that is being photographed. For example, the Speciali Collection is a premium product range aimed at 18 - 40 year olds. So, imagery needs to relate to the consumer by looking smart and considered, we can do this by creating images that would be suitable for a men’s fashion magazine. Shooting the product this way will create aspirational photographs which the consumer can identify with. Another example is Geo Flare, which is aimed more towards a much younger group aged 8 - 15. This is an audience that can make a decision on how they feel about a brand in a split second, so the imagery needs to shout authenticity immediately. This can be done by taking a more documentary-based approach to photographs, capturing the moment, presenting the dynamism, excitement and enjoyment that are the foundations of a football match. The guidelines detailed above although quite simple should always be the first points to consider when creating photographic assets. This will enable you to generate images which communicate to the consumer that Umbro is the authentic football brand making stylish quality products which will perform on and off the pitch. S4 01. Speciali example 02. Speciali example 03. Speciali example 01. Geo Flare example 02. Geo Flare example 03. Geo Flare example

BRAND GUIDELINES 36 S4 OUR PHOTOGRAPHY Product Shots As with the guidelines on the previous page, the main rule to apply when shooting still life photography is to try and get a football reference into the shot. The product itself is always the star player in this type of photography, so the football reference needs to compliment the product rather than take it out of the game. If shooting apparel please make sure the garments are steamed before kicking off the shoot , this presents the products in their best possible form. Similarly, footwear need to be laced up neatly, if shooting multiple examples they all need to be laced in the same manner to present a smart team look. Some situations require the product to be shot without the need of a theme or props, such as boots or football kits for an e-commerce site. In these instances please shoot the product against a white backdrop allowing the features of the product to be presented clearly, and shoot the product from multiple angles in order to show all the technical attributes that the product offers. 01. Product shot against concrete back drop 02. Product shot on white tiles 03 Product shot against white brick 01. E-commerce product shot with white backdrop. 02. E-commerce product shot with white backdrop.
