Gilbert Kits Out Wasps Netball

Wasps Netball has joined forces with sports brand Gilbert to produce its first-ever kit ahead of its debut Vitality Netball Superleague season in 2017.

The West Midlands club has signed a two year agreement with the sports manufacturer which will also cover supply of training kits, match balls and accessories.

Work is currently going on behind the scenes to develop the kit in the recognisable Wasps black and gold colours, which will be unveiled to fans ahead of the new Vitality Netball Superleague season.

David Armstrong, Group Chief Executive officer of Wasps, said: “There is a real buzz around Wasps Netball at the moment and this partnership with Gilbert will only generate more anticipation ahead of the new season.”

Gilbert Sales & Marketing Director Richard Gray added: “We are very excited to be involved in Wasps’ ambitious and innovative ideas for netball in the Midlands and we wish them every success in their first Superleague campaign. Having enjoyed a long and successful relationship with Wasps rugby and with close connections to the area ever since the Gilbert brand was first established in Rugby in 1823, we are confident that the relationship will be a long and successful one, for both parties.”
