With an indomitable tradition gained during the last 85 years, Umbro is proud to present a retrospective of sort this World Cup year with its new World Champions Collection, a limited edition series featuring collaboration with local artists from 7 nations that previous won the much desired title. Serve as an alternative to the traditional team jerseys; the collection highlights more of the off-field, lifestyle aspect of the loyal soccer fan. Artists created crests and emblems less about lineages and royalties, instead, more on the true fanatical fans and their associations. Commissioned artists include:

ZZK Records – Argentina
Fernando Chamarelli – Brazil
Ben Eine – England
Andre (Monsieur A) – France
Thomas Marecki (Marok) – Germany
Tanino Liberatore – Italy
Martin Albronoz – Uruguay

For a more “sensual” take of the collection, Umbro enlisted 7 beauties, wives or girlfriends of prominent soccer players, as model for each kit.

Luli Fernandez – Argentina
Susan Werner – Brazil
Abbey Clancy – England
Charlene Suric – France
Julia Goedicke – Germany
Alice Bregoli – Italy
Zaira Nara – Uruguay

Though not as risqué as Page 3 tabloid models, the images are still racy enough to raise some eyebrows. High-resolution images, crests, models, and wallpapers are all downloadable here.
