London Skolars are thrilled to announce they have agreed a deal with global brand leader Kappa to create the club’s kit and merchandise for the 2016 season. With the club already retaining many of its strongest players from the previous season and signing several quality additions, the coming season looks very promising. A kit and sponsorship deal with such a reputable brand as Kappa is another welcome addition and further enhances the optimism about the forthcoming season, as the club feels it is a brand which mirrors our ambitions.

James Milner from Buysportskit.com, which acts on behalf of Kappa UK, had this to say on the partnership ‘We are delighted to have agreed this deal with the London Skolars and look forward to working with the club over the coming seasons. Rugby League in London is vital to the progression of the sport and we are happy to be involved during this exciting time. This deal will ensure that the Skolars fans have a great choice of merchandise throughout the course of the season. Skolars is one the South’s leading clubs and now has 20 years history and a vibrant pathway with 250 plus players active from U7 to U17s and seniors. This is exactly the reasons we want to be associated with the club’

Kappa as a brand will need no introduction to the Skolars supporters with a history of supplying quality sportswear Worldwide since 1967 from its headquarters in Turin. The company is supplying an array of Elite Level sides around Europe including Racing Metro and Leeds United.’

This sentiment was echoed by David Bandell a representative for Kappa’s UK branch ‘Kappa UK are delighted to be the new technical sponsors of London Skolars. As Rugby league continues to grow in the Southern counties clubs like the Skolars are integral to our plans for the coming years. The quality merchandise we produce for both on and off the field of play will ensure both the players and the fans will always look their absolute best.

Many thanks must go to Buysportskit.com our retail partners for making this exciting partnership happen.’

Part of the deal will be a new and improved club shop with a much more extensive range available online.

Your first opportunity to see the new kit on display will be when London Skolars partake in the annual capital challenge against Wigan Warriors on the 22nd of January 2016. Tickets are available on the club shop and by following the link below.
