Puma have been announced as the new apparel partner for the QLD Maroons for the upcoming 2021 season, signing a whooping 6 year contract with the "local global" brand.

While there have been some delays in the launch of the range due to various reasons such as COVID, the delayed Origin game in 2020 and the later than usual contract change (cue ISC split from NRL contracts), we can assure fans that the range launch isn't too far away, with new gear expected to hit the Savvy Supporter site on the 22nd March, 2021 (check out existing Maroons gear here).

This is the first time Puma will be an apparel partner for the Origin series, which sees the brand return to the NRL following their departure in 2004, when they made the Cronulla Sharks range.

The reveal on the that Puma will also be the apparel partner for the NSW Blues, also signing on for a four year deal. There is currently no announcement date for the NSW Blues 2021 range.
