‘Hammer’ Nails 4870
FOR the second year running XXXX is removing their logo from the left sleeve of Maroons’ players and replacing it with the postcode of each player’s choosing.
Lion’s core beer head of marketing Chris Allan said the aim of the swap was to celebrate the contributions of the broader community in supporting Maroons' players to achieve the ultimate honour for any footy player, running out into an Origin arena with the Queensland jersey on their back.
Each player named to represent the Queensland Maroons throughout the 2023 Origin series will be given the opportunity to wear the postcode of their choosing on their sleeve. Queensland Maroons' centre Hamiso "Hammer" Tabuai-Fidow said:
“Growing up in Cairns it was my dream to represent my state in the Maroon jersey. When I step out onto the field, I’m stepping out for everyone from my hometown of Cairns (4870) and for our loyal Queensland supporters.
“I’m pumped that this XXXX initiative has continued for its second year – Queenslanders should be extremely proud of it,” he said.
“These communities are close to our hearts so it’s a fitting tribute to wear them on our sleeves and celebrate the places that make this state full of pride and greatness.”
