Grêmio has a new supplier of sports equipment. On Thursday night (27), Tricolor announced that it had signed a contract with New Balance. Therefore, after 10 years of partnership, FC Rio Grande do Sul will no longer wear the uniforms made by Umbro.
In short, the contract with New Balance will be effective from 2026 and will be valid for five seasons. Moreover, the American company will supply sports materials for the main men’s and women’s teams, as well as for all youth categories.
“I am very happy to be able to announce this new partnership. A strong brand like New Balance, fulfills the desires of our fans who are looking for a new supplier. Now we have this world-class brand, which will allow us to launch new products of the highest quality. It is a legacy that we leave to all Grêmio fans,” said Grêmio President, Alberto Guerra.
Grêmio still doesn’t have a date for a new uniform
Gremio promised to reveal the club’s new shirt soon. However, the club is expected to start using New Balance materials only in February, when they will also be made available for sale.
“We are formalizing this partnership between New Balance and Grêmio, which will start in 2026. They are two century-old brands and this union represents a great happiness for our company, as we have a very strong position in the southern region of the country. Fans can expect many products outside the box,” said Leandro Moraes, New Balance Brand Director.
In Brazil, New Balance only supplies sports equipment to São Paulo. But in Europe, the American company works with clubs such as Porto (Portugal), Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Lille (France), Atalanta (Italy).
