Classic Sportswear becomes rugby supporter
Australian sports apparel manufacturer Classic Sportswear is now the official partner and sponsor of ARL Development, a non-profit company formed by the ARL (Australian Rugby League) and NRL (National Rugby League) to develop the grassroots of the sport from introductory level up to the age of 18 years. The organisation's main objective is to increase the participation of young people in Rugby League activities.
Classic Sportswear spokesman Tony Magnus said that encouraging young people to have an active and healthy lifestyle is very important to the company. The company was recently appointed the Rugby League World Cup’s apparel and headwear partner and the NRL’s official supplier of supporter and mascot apparel (from 2009). It is also apparel partner for the Australian Kangaroos and the Australian Schoolboys Rugby League.
Founded in 1934, Classic Sportswear is a privately owned company that employs more than 75 staff. It operates from a site in Sidney and its knitting, sublimated printing, pressing, cutting, sewing and embroidery facilities are all in-house.
