he Brisbane Broncos have announced a new partnership with ASICS, with the global sportswear brand to become the club’s official apparel partner for both the NRL and NRLW sides for 2021.

As part of the long-term deal, ASICS has produced a new Broncos jersey and will supply apparel and footwear to the club for both the men’s and women’s teams.

ASICS Oceania managing director, Mark Brunton, said: “ASICS has a rich history of supporting Australian sport and is now extremely proud to be in partnership with one of Australia’s most loved National Rugby League clubs.”

“The Brisbane Broncos have a great reputation of being a dominant force in the league and we’re looking forward to providing both the NRL and NRLW teams with sportswear that will meet their high-performance requirements.

“Our team has put a great deal of detail into the new jerseys, incorporating the technical elements that ASICS is known for while embracing the spirit of Brisbane Broncos club.

“We can’t wait to see the teams take the field in them in 2021,” he said.

Broncos CEO, Paul White, said he is excited to join forces with one of the worldwide leaders in sportswear in ASICS.

“The Broncos are thrilled to announce a long-term partnership with a company of ASICS’ stature, renowned for producing such premium products,” White said.

“We embarked on a deliberate strategy to align our club with global brands and there are few better-known brands in sport than ASICS.

“The 2021 jersey designs are outstanding, and we are sure our Broncos members and fans will embrace the quality of the entire apparel range being produced by ASICS,” he said.

Newly named ASICS ambassador and Broncos star, Payne Haas, said the changes to the new kit embrace the club’s spirit.

“The new ASICS kit feels great and looks awesome,” Haas said.

“It’s lightweight, extremely breathable and really embraces our club’s spirit by giving a nod to vintage Broncos uniforms,” he said, after being given the chance to trial the jerseys before they were launched.
