Grêmio officially announced that New Balance will make the club’s kits in a five-year deal, valid until the end of 2030. New Balance replaces Umbro.
GrêmioSign With New Balance for 2026 Until End of 2030
According to early information, the first New Balance Grêmio home kit will keep the club’s traditional blue, white, and black stripes but introduce a gradient effect in the lower section. Despite the brand switch, production will remain under the same operator, the Dass Group, which manages both Umbro and New Balance in Brazil.
The move also ends New Balance’s period of nationwide exclusivity with São Paulo FC. That clause expires in December 2025, allowing the brand to add a second team in Brazilian football, though regional exclusivity still prevents deals with other clubs in the state of São Paulo.
