Imagine the colonel on the front of our jersey.

Canberra Raiders CEO Don Furner confident of finding new major sponsor

Raiders CEO Don Furner is confident the can find a new major sponsor - after Huawei vacated the jersey front.

"It's a tough time for all businesses in Australia and around the world. We'll get out there and do our best. We've spoken to a couple of companies, but it's a tough market at the moment so we've got to do our best and I'm quite confident we'll land somebody.

i really hope we reach out to redbull as a sponsor. they love throwing money into thing

Thing is, it seems as though being Sponsored by Red Bull means to be taken over by Red Bull. See RB Salzburg, RB New York and RB Leipzig.

What's BP or John Deere up to? Maybe Video Ezy want to get some recognition again..

if it helps us go to the next level, im comfortable supporting the RB Raiders

Maybe Otis Elevators?

Whatever your thoughts on the political aspects, history has shown we can't always afford to be picky.

I am sure that any Australian business we try to court will have paid very close attention to the fact that we made the Grand Final last year but were only given three free to air games this year. The logical conclusion they'll draw from that is that "even if they win the Grand Final they still won't get much in the way of free to air exposure".

Potential sponsors will most likely also have noted that nearly all of our home games this year were played at night time during the Canberra winter, meaning not only will they lack for FTA exposure, they will lack crowd exposure too.

City Ford?

Good Australian company.

I reckon Kleenex would do a roaring trade with the majority of our fan base... what about a pacifier company?

[reptar]

Surely the climate is right for a pharmaceutical company?

[gerg]

With the recent surge in toilet paper sales and being such a reputable company, Kleenex certainly have the runs on the board.

There would be too many dank memes

I’m sure the doses would be correct

There's still plenty of businesses doing a roaring trade at the moment, we'll find somebody.

JB Hi-Fi continues its juggernaut retail presence, Coles and Woolworths aren't going anywhere, then you've got behemoths like Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services. Then there's utility providers like ActewAGL... and pretty much everything in the telecommunications space.

In fact, if I had to make a shot-in-the-dark based on pure gut feel (and not much else) I'd guess iiNet, or someone that fills a similar sort of niche. They're a national company that has a special Canberra link with their VDSL2 network that competes directly with the NBN (the former TransACT network). I could definitely see them using a relationship with the Raiders to clue Canberrans in to the fact that there's an NBN alternative in our market, while also benefitting from the national exposure for their other products.

Given the sheer number of companies out there, I'm sure I'll be completely wrong since the odds of picking the right one are abysmally poor, but given what we have to work with I think it's a good guess.

[FuiFui BradBrad]

Reject Shop are also going through a massive revamp, and are reportedly killing it during these times where others have struggled.

On the one hand, having Reject Shop on the jersey might open up some jibes, but on the other hand it’s not as bad as Sydney Tools on the front of the Bulldogs

[BJ]

Surely a mountain bike company is the way to go.

Up the Milk? Canberra Raiders' major sponsor hunt begins

While no formal discussions have taken place with the Raiders, it's believed Canberra Milk have discussed the possibility internally of again becoming the club's major sponsor.

"One of the first things we do is to speak to our incumbents and we've got a few that are there," he said. "First thing we would do is ask them if they'd be interested in stepping up. Canberra Milk obviously would be fantastic, but we've just got to go through that process."

"...famous war cry that lives to this day... " No one ever said that before last year's Betoota Advocate. I dislike the term myself... they're a commercial sponsor, not the team.

Canberra milk the sponsor. And change the collar on the jersey to blue... absolute winner

[nachopants]

The Dragons should sponsor us, they end up with most of our players as it is

2022 Raiders jersey with Canberra Milk on the front and no Huawei in sight? I'd buy that.

[afgtnk]

Since the Libs are again bowing down further to the Queen and the old alliances, maybe one of those big bloated defence contractors like Lockheed, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems etc could throw us a few mil?

Another political statement in the name of sponsorship won't hurt

Not the 2021 jersey?

[Raider Azz]

The Huawei logo looked totally awful anyway. Will go down as the worst Raiders jersey ever.

... have you seen some of our jerseys in the past? The Puma bottle green jersey immediately springs to mind.

Ill never forgive Fone Zone for stopping our unbeaten run in 2003.

Huawei will still have a small logo on the back.
But once it's on out if sight.....
Since Aussies got called 'white trash' there's an angle

Yep, it will. By the sounds of things, gotta wait until year after next before they're fully gone.

there has been no worse jersey than the fone zone. mine still feels like a thai knockoff

[Turt]

Afterpay or Zippay would be worth a shot.

They’d be able to pay their sponsorship in instalments pretty efficiently also

Just looking over the old jerseys after seeing that Canberra Milk post, it occurred to me, I don't know what Woodgers is, apart from a GH poster.

Can someone shed some light?

[Sid]

A bright lime green jersey with the Canberra Milk logo would be **** mint. My favourite Raider jersey of all time is the 1994 one
