Gor Mahia FC’s replica kit exquisitely manufactured by Umbro is making a grand entry straight from Italy timed perfectly to meet the fervor of the fans before their highly-anticipated clash with Murang’a Seal.
The partnership between the legendary club and Umbro, which commenced in January 2020, has been nothing short of a sartorial feast for the fans and the team alike.
The high-performance competition gear, the meticulously designed training outfits, and the stylish off-field apparel have elevated K’Ogalo’s wardrobe to new heights.
On Tuesday, Gor Mahia chairman Ambrose Rachier addressed the anticipation and the slight delay in delivery.
“There is a question that keeps lingering usually from our fans. We want to apologize for the delay of delivery of our (replica) jerseys, they are coming from Italy,” he said.
“We are pushing they get here before Saturday and we are doing our best, and we want to thank our sponsors in that regard as they have been really on the forefront in pushing acquisition of the jerseys so we are crossing our fingers so that they get here and it will be a struggle to have them prior to the match.”
The price and availability of the jerseys are details that fans are eagerly waiting for.
Meanwhile, words are swirling about a potential five-year deal with Tanzanian kit manufacturer GSM, promising a future where replica jerseys will not just be a purchase but an experience, distributed extensively throughout the country.
The connection with Yanga SC’s President, Eng. Hersi Said, could be a hint of strategic brilliance.
“Yanga SC and Gor Mahia FC share a lot in common in terms of football success in this region,” revealed Sammy Ochola, Gor Mahia’s Secretary-General in a recent statement.
Eng. Hersi Said, who doubles as the CEO of GSM, expressed his admiration for Gor Mahia, viewing the partnership as a bolster to the clubs’ stature and the sustainability of the sport.
In response to the menace of counterfeit products, Gor Mahia plan to solidify their stand against piracy by partnering with authorized retail outlets within Nairobi’s Central Business District.
The club are keen on protecting their brand and ensuring that profits from the sale of their replica jerseys go into the right hands – the club’s coffers, aiding its growth and success.
