I was at the Vauxhall Food and Beer Garden to watch the NRL Grand Final. Broncos were there heading out caps to anyone who signed up to the mailing list. No new badge, but the font has changed and the cap is navy blue, a blood red B, and a grey sword either side of the B. Also next season's kit will be made by Reebok.

Authentic Brands, who have owned Reebok since 2021, licence out the manufacture of kit and therefore the manufacturer of the Broncos kit will unlikely be the same as West Ham's in the 00s.


Boycotting a sportswear brand because they sponsor a national team is performative outrage and does nothing for the lives of the exploited. Unless direct action is takes against guilty governments, nothing changes for those who are suffering.

That BDS post feels a bit of a reach. There’s a bit of truth about Reebok’s Israel ties but it’s spun up like some moral crusade, more virtue signalling than substance. Who really cares?

I’m happy enough with the choice of Reebok as shirt providers. I thought the Paladin shirts were a bit of a mess: didn’t think the collar worked.
 I suspect that virtue signalling sponsorships across private sector/ big business are beginning to be a poisoned chalice as society becomes more divided (you impress one set of people with your right mindedness/offend another set)
and may soon fade away. Sponsorship of Israel wouldn’t put me off personally - a s**t product would. Any way…..

As long as following on from their Leopard head Leigh shirt, we don't  end up with a horses head version.
