Admiral is a legendary brand, having been worn by some of the biggest names in the sporting world.  The England National Team, Manchester United, and the New York Cosmos are just some of the clubs that once donned Admiral. In fact, Admiral has supplied most of the current EPL teams in addition to being the largest brand in the original NASL.  The company, a pioneering brand in the truest sense, was recently the subject of a British TV documentary called Get Shirty. 

Admiral has now grown into a major player in the North American market, becoming one of the largest brands supplying pro development soccer teams in the U.S.  Today Admiral is the brand of champions, being worn by the 2012 & 2013 North American Soccer League (NASL) Champions, the 2013, 2014, 2016, 2017 Premier Development League (PDL) Champions and 2016 USL Champions.  Admiral have just announced the signing of USL PRO team Austin Bold.

Clubs choose Admiral because of the value, factory direct pricing, and a custom kit that promotes the club brand.  Admiral is exclusively distributed by the top 15 soccer specialty retailers across the USA which provide our partner clubs with local service, a full range of product and promote sales of pro-development team merchandise.
