Newcastle Thunder Announce AVR as Official Apparel Partner for 2027

Newcastle Thunder are delighted to announce that AVR will become the club’s Official Apparel Partner for the 2027 season.

As preparations continue to ramp up for an exciting new campaign under Head Coach Craig Huby, the new partnership will see AVR supply our bespoke 2027 matchday playing kits, alongside performance training wear, coaching kit, and off-field leisurewear for both players and supporters.

Built to withstand the physical demands of Championship rugby league while offering modern, sharp designs for the Thunder Army on the terraces, the new AVR range marks a fresh look for the club heading into 2027.

Supporters won't have to wait long to get their hands on the new gear, with our online shop launching soon,  featuring replica kits and a full range of off-field merchandise just in time for the festive period.

Speaking on the agreement, Newcastle Thunder CEO Richie Metcalfe said:

"Getting our kit and retail offering right for both the squad and our supporters has been a huge priority for us heading into 2027. From our very first conversations with AVR, their attention to detail, quality of performance wear, and commitment to delivering a bespoke range that genuinely reflects Newcastle Thunder’s identity really stood out. Our players need durable, high-performance kit to train and compete in week in, week out, and our fans deserve merchandise they are proud to wear—and can easily get hold of. We’ve worked closely together on the 2027 designs and can’t wait to launch the new online store very soon."

Keep a close eye on Newcastle Thunder’s official website and social media channels over the coming days for our official 2027 kit launch and the launch of our brand-new online club shop.
