Which soccer uniform maker did Nike acquire in 2007?

Nike acquired Umbro in 2007, making the British soccer-kit specialist the answer to the question.

Umbro was founded in Wilmslow, England, in 1924 and became closely associated with football uniforms, boots, and training wear. Its profile grew through kit deals with clubs and national teams, including England. Nike announced the planned acquisition on October 23, 2007, in a deal reported at about £285 million; the transaction received approval later that year and concluded in February 2008.

The purchase was part of Nike’s expansion in football, but it did not last permanently. In 2012, Nike announced plans to sell Umbro as it refocused its portfolio on brands such as Nike, Converse, Hurley, and Jordan. Iconix Brand Group subsequently acquired the brand. Puma, Kappa, and Diadora were competing sportswear companies, not the maker Nike bought in 2007.
