The other day, we featured the return of the England World Cup 1970 shirts, which are actually part of a wider range going by the name of Umbro Icons. From that same range comes the Umbro Anthem Jacket.

Umbro’s retro-styled New York Cosmos Anthem Jacket and Track Top now available to buy
Last year, we mentioned over on our His Knibs site that Umbro was remaking the New York Cosmos kit for the reformed US football legends. At the time, there was no news of it being for sale. Well, you can buy it now. At least, you can buy the best bits of the range.
Those 'best bits' are the New York Cosmos Anthem Jacket and Track Top . The Anthem is very much in a 1960s bomber jacket style, in a rich green with the New York Cosmos crest on the chest, the name embroidered across the back, a shaped body and a three-colour stripe on the cuff and collar. £54.99 is the price – see over the page for a picture of Pele wearing one.
Alternatively, Umbro has a Track Top out based on the 1970s version. In white, it has green detailing, the Cosmos badge and is made of a double knit fabric with polyester outer layer to protect you from the elements combined. That's also £54.99.
New York Cosmos reforms – Umbro makes retro-styled kit
It seems that the New York Cosmos, the legendary US football (or 'soccer' if you like) team from the 70s and 80s, have reformed. Not only that, there's a new kit – the shirt is pictured above and a track top is pictured over the page, worn by the club's most famous son, both made by sportswear firm Umbro.
The club is apparently back under new ownership, with Pele as its honorary chairman and with the aim of (eventually) competing in the Major League Soccer tournament in the US. But right now, it's focusing on 'elite' youth academies to bring the best players through.
Despite the lack of league action, the club is producing new kits before the end of the year. No news on price or availability, but we suspect there will be big demand when it lands in a matter of weeks.

1970s Adidas Europa track top reissued
Once upon a time, finding authentic vintage Adidas sportswear usually meant wandering round a car boot-style sale in the suburbs of Germany. Then Adidas got wise to it, reissuing their archives, sometimes with a lived-in look. Like this Adidas Europa track top.
A classic track top from the 1970s, the Europa is back out with its original shape and design, with Adidas adding to the authenticity by giving it a stone wash and some slight wear to the logo on the zip pull. So everyone really will believe you've dig this up from your very own secret vintage place.
Sold in limited numbers, you can pick one up in all sizes for £59.
