Puma to supply kit for AFL side

02/12/2016
Sportswear manufacturer Puma has signed a deal to supply the kit for Australian Football League (AFL) side Richmond Tigers, the club has announced.

Richmond and five other clubs were left without a kit provider in November after Queensland-based sports brand BLK went into receivership.

“Puma will be the Club’s new apparel partner from 2017, supplying the team’s playing and performance apparel, as well as the club’s retail apparel range,” a statement on Richmond’s website said.

"We look forward to a long and successful relationship with PUMA. They partner some of the biggest sporting brands in the world and we are pleased they saw fit to partner with Richmond,” added Brendon Gale, Richmond CEO.

For his part, Paul Gautier, general manager of Puma’s Oceania division said: “Puma’s brand mission is to be the fastest sports brand in the world. Our investment in AFL is critical in delivering our goals in sports.”
