On the plus side, it'll be the first time in about a decade we can buy jerseys that don't have Huawei on them.

If it is Toyota forklifts, at least they're relatively innocuous. In recent memory we have a history of controversial major sponsors that a lot of people wouldn't want on their clothing.

Forklift drivers are the pinnacle of evolution and can literally do anything.

Just saying.

Toyota Forklifts to lift the Raiders to new heights in 2022 and beyond

The Canberra Raiders are pleased to announce that Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) have signed on as the Club’s new Major Sponsor for the next 2 years.

During the current season, TMHA and the Raiders have effectively progressed their foundation year partnership via leverage of the Toyota Forklifts brand, to a point where both parties are excited to confirm elevation to Principal Partner status for future seasons.

As initially suggested back in December 2021, Canberra Milk will return to the sleeve position on the Raiders Jersey next year after a highly successful ‘50th Anniversary’ celebratory season with the Green Machine.

Raiders CEO Don Furner was appreciative of both Canberra Milk and TMHA for their continuing support following what has been another difficult year given continuing Covid-19 interruptions.

“It has been magnificent how positive our relationship has been with Canberra Milk during season 2021, thank you, we have been honoured to assist with your 50-year celebrations” Furner said.

Additionally, Don added “This year we have also been fortunate to welcome a new corporate partner in TMHA to our club, one that I’m proud to say shares similar values and ideologies to ourselves, so I’m proud to let everyone know that Toyota Material Handling Australia are our new Principal Sponsor moving forward”.

President and CEO of Toyota Material Handling Australia Steve Takacs responded “TMHA is excited to step up to be principal partner of the Green Machine in 2022 and beyond. “One of our key clients in Bega Dairy and Drinks (Canberra Milk) have led the way in terms of building an impactful partnership with this widely loved Club and we now look forward to lifting the Raiders business both on and off the field in future seasons”.

For over 50 years Toyota Material Handling has been proudly partnering Australian business with a leading range of Toyota forklift products, supplemented by its selection of industrial sweepers/scrubbers, lift platforms, tow tractors, and popular Huski Construction Equipment range. TMHA is a privately held Australian company with a 100% national branch network, comprising over 800 sales and service staff who are all committed to delivering the highest levels of customer service to Australian businesses.

I would have waited until Monday to make this announcement...

[Mickey_Raider]

Hallelujah our problems are solved. We have banana bread (or forklifts).

[Lamenting Actions]

It's a fairly substandard logo and not as attractive as the Milk, but, if it secures us decent funding so be it. Can't see Toyota letting the design change even in the slightest.

I honestly wish I was good enough to drive a forklift. Sadly I am a mere pubic savant who is Canberra born, bred, and has to deal with politics every day (I'm trying to get out though).

[Northern Raider]

Great to have a major sponsor like this. Can't see the logo looking any good on our jersey unfortunately unless they change the colour like Toyota did for Cowboys jersey.

[Billy Walker]

Not sure if this sponsorship will give the boys a lift or whether it will be another up and down season?

[-PJ-]

I have a forklift licence.

[Billy Walker]

On the upside if we do lose our first 8 games and agree the season is cooked at least we will be well placed to put a fork in it……

[Raider Azz]

Logo looked fine on our women in league jersey: https://www.raiders.com.au/news/2021/09 ... nd-beyond/

Don't know what everyone is worried about.

[GreenMachine]

Can we borrow one to pry our coach out of his role in 2022?

I hope to god they remove that awful white background. Makes our jersey look like something you would get it off WISH.

Canberra Raiders' major sponsorship with Toyota Forklifts reportedly worth up to $1 million per season

Toyota Forklifts have signed on as the Raiders' major sponsor for the next two seasons, taking over after Canberra Milk's one-year stint on the jersey front during their 50th anniversary.

It's believed the value of the sponsorship is in the $800,000-$1 million region per season, depending on the club's performances during the 2022-23 campaigns.

Nice to see them talk about their desire to be in it for the long haul.

Finally, a 'normal' long-term major sponsor!

Hwawai has left completely now, no longer supporting/sponsorship of hq

Curious to see if they take or their tech stuff with them or is it an opportunity to use a better product ( if there is one) out there...

No one has a better understanding of both loser forklifts and loser football teams quite like me

What the fork? Lift your game man!

[RedRaider]

Well after season 2021 we all need our Forks lifted. In a competitive sponsorship market to gain a $1million Sponsorship is a positive for the club. Here's hoping it is the first of a string of post season positive announcements.

[Seiffert82]

Should be just enough to take us to the next level.

If we were going with industrial equipment for a sponsor than I thought Tonka Trucks would have been a better fit for the Raiders.

Looks big and tough, but in reality are small and unable to cope with even a minimal load.
