New England Rugby League kit
The RFL is delighted to announce that sportswear brand ISC are the new official kit partner to the England Rugby League team, supplying all match apparel and producing all official replica, training and leisure wear.
The agreement will run from March 2011 to December 2014 and the new kit will be worn by England for the first time at the mid-season international in June.
With a vibrant look of a white and red detailed shirt, the England kit draws inspiration from the national flag and the England RL crest. ISC have designed the kit to reflect England Rugby League’s fresh approach to international competition with the red St George’s cross emblazoned across the chest.
The new shirt also integrates ISC’s Optimax technology into the fabric, which is a moisture management system that helps keeps the body cooler, drier and more comfortable during the 80 minutes of battle.
Andy Hewitt, the RFL’s Director of Marketing & Communications, said: "I am delighted to welcome ISC as our official kit partner for the next four years.
“ISC and England will become synonymous over the next three years especially in the build up to the 2013 Rugby League World Cup.
“We have some exciting plans for England’s new look and I have no doubt the partnership will excite England fans and will go on to be a long and lasting success for everyone.”
Brett Corrick, ISC’s Chief Executive, added: “This is a highly significant and exciting partnership for ISC. Aligning ISC with an organisation with the prestige of the RFL demonstrates our commitment to the continual growth of the ISC brand in both the UK as well as the sport of Rugby League. The partnership reinforces ISC’s position as the number one Rugby League apparel provider in the world.”
As part of the partnership ISC will supply kit for playing, training, and support staff for the different England programmes and have designed an apparel range for the RFL’s Match Officials department.
