The Wests Tigers have collaborated with Major Partner Pepper Money and new Apparel Partner Canterbury of New Zealand (CCC) to finalise the design of the club’s 2026 NRL and NRLW Home and Away playing strips.
The key outcome of the co-design process is the seamless integration of the Pepper Money logo onto the jersey front, removing the white box that featured in the previous 2025 design.
Pepper Money first became the Major Partner of the Wests Tigers at the beginning of the 2025 season, with its distinctive logo adorning the front of the playing jerseys across both the men’s and women’s competitions. The current change in aesthetic was a collaborative decision made in alignment with the introduction of CCC as the club’s new performance apparel partner.
Mario Rehayem, CEO of Pepper Money, commented that the shift in design was reflective of the strength and philosophy of the commercial relationship.
“This new look is more than a design change. It reflects who we are and who we stand beside.
This new look reflects the kind of partnership we believe in. One built on purpose, pride and showing up in the right way,” Mr Rehayem stated.
He added that the company was proud to stand alongside the club in a design that felt authentic to both brands.
Chief commercial officer for the Wests Tigers, Peter Lang, thanked Pepper Money for their willingness to adapt the branding for aesthetic purposes. Lang emphasised the significance of the jersey as a core club asset.
“Our jersey is an integral piece of the Club’s identity, and its design and overall aesthetic is hugely important, I know this change from Pepper Money will be well received right across our fanbase.”
The 2026 Home and Away jerseys, featuring the new logo integration, are now available for fans to purchase, coinciding with the club’s start of the pre-season programme.
