Continuing an exceptional partnership, the Sharks are delighted to announce Classic Sportswear will remain the club's exclusive apparel supplier until at least the end of the 2030 season.
Classic Sportswear has produced the official on-field and off-field apparel for Cronulla's NRL, NRLW and elite pathways teams since 2023, ensuring players and supporters alike can don the club's colours with comfort and pride.
Synonymous with rugby league from the grassroots to the professional game, Classic also supplies uniforms for a range of Cronulla Junior Rugby League clubs including Como-Jannali, Joeys, St John Bosco Engadine, De La Salle Caringbah and Kurnell Stingrays.
In celebrating the extension of a cutting-edge association, Sharks CEO Dino Mezzatesta thanked Classic Sportswear for its ongoing support and innovation. Classic Sportswear was already contracted with the Sharks until the end of 2026.
"We're pleased to be aligned long term with Classic Sportswear, further solidifying the bond between two outstanding Sutherland Shire brands," he said.
"Classic Sportswear's products over the past two-and-a-half years have been extremely well received by our squads, staff and supporters. They are the premier supplier in the business and understand rugby league through and through, optimising player performance while constantly elevating their striking designs.
"We're grateful for the continued backing of Warren Carney, Ross Smart and their team and we're excited about what we can achieve together over the next five years."
Established in 1934, Classic Sportswear is 100% Australian owned. With its own factory and an in-house art and design department, Classic uniquely has complete control of all production capabilities and the supply chain.
Classic Sportswear Chief Executive Officer Ross Smart said: "Classic Sportswear is proud to be a partner of the Cronulla Sharks, a club that embodies on-field excellence as well as a deep commitment to its community.
"Whether it be on the field at Sharks Stadium, with the fans cheering on from the stands, or on the playing fields of the Sutherland Shire, our partnership with the Sharks and the community of the Shire puts Classic in the thick of the action, always.
"Classic is built on outfitting athletes of all levels, from Under 6's to elite professionals, as well as the fans and supporters on the sidelines. When we say with Classic, you can 'Gear Up Like a Pro', we mean it.
"We deeply appreciate the club's trust and thank Dino Mezzatesta, Craig Fitzgibbon, and the entire Sharks on and off-field team for their support.
"We look forward to our partnership continuing to grow and we can't wait to celebrate future successes together."
