Hungry Jacks signs on as major NBL sponsor

The Kings jerseys have altered NBL logos on the top left shoulder.

The NBL logo has been shrunk and a Hungry Jacks logo placed underneath.

(Mod: Updating thread...)

THE National Basketball League has landed a whopper of a sponsorship deal with Hungry Jack's getting on board as naming rights partner of the rejuvenated competition.

The restaurant chain first signed as the NBL’s major backer in 1987 when the Brisbane Bullets won the title and are back for the competition’s 40th season, which gets under way tonight when Adelaide host Melbourne United.

Do the kings jerseys have a heap more sponsors than usual though?

Powerade on the back and sydney.com on the front?

Might just be for these NBA games

The Wildcats jerseys for sale definitely don't have HJ's under the NBL logo.

Hmmm...

It doesn't make sense for Hungry Jack's to have a super tiny logo for one pre-season game, unless they like throwing money away so kudos to the Kings if so.

Wildcats have a deal with alcohol think again and healthway to advertise anything junk food related. Including Gatorade. That's why all the labels on sports bottles are tapped over.

Wonder how this will work with HJs on board as league wide sponsor?

Cats would want to hope it's not a league sponsor, otherwise health ways will pull their what i would presume would be 1mil or so sponsorship just to prove a point. They will probably get compensation from the NBL as it would be more than a million dollar sponsorship deal on the line, all the merchandise that has the crap alcohol think again in it, signage, decals and advertisement.

I imagine this would be the norm for all stadiums under the naming rights deal.

They are just using a health promotion government agency for easy sponsorship dollars.

It's not like the Cats are directly promoting it, so should it really be a problem. But if it is who they going to find to put up a 1mil sponsorship that's not government based.

Exciting news for the NBL. You'd think its for big dollars, hopefully this can at least offset the running of the Bullets for this season or at least cover most/majority of TV production costs.

Go and google the WA Healthway controversy how the previous board in charge were throwing away money to any and all sporting events to use public funds to get tickets for themselves to every sport in Perth. The deal was dodgy in the first place and now HJs is a major sponsor is the icing on the cake. What a farce.

What I was getting at Anon was that's it not a Cats club sponsor like life time
Dental its a league sponsor, yes it will be on the jerseys, decals on court ect but they didn't approach them directly. So it shouldn't matter the only part of the healthway brand I see at the games is the alcohol think again, nothing about healthy eating... do HJ's sell salads these days

This is the last year of Healthways Sponsorship deal or it ends Today no doubt it will be in the news or wildcats members 1st email.

Incorrect. Healthway is there to provide sponsorship to sports and arts so there was nothing dodgy about signing the deal. The issue was that the board and management in that department were using the benefits for themselves, and not for further promotional activities that would develop their brand.

Is Alcohol Think Again part of Healthway.

It's not about what you see... it's about what you don't see.

There's no music used that references alcohol and binge drinking culture.

All labels to the teams sports drinks are tapped over.

There are no other junk food or soft drink sponsors as part of the Wildcats corporate sponsors.

Yes junk food is sold at the game and you can purchase alcohol, but it's never promoted by the club.

Alcohol Think Again is also the reason why you never see the Wildcats promoting a "bar" or "pub" as a place to watch an away game.

Obviously league sponsors are out of the Wildcats control, but I just find it interesting because what if part of the sponsorship is to have x amount of PA mentions for HJ's at games and that message becomes more powerful than the healthy living messages.

Pun "—noun

the humorous use of a word or phrase so as to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or the use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning; a play on words."

Perhaps an ironic or sarcastic anti-pun

Are there not deals in the AFL with organisations against drink driving and alcohol abuse while the league has beer sponsors? Hmmmmm. I don't think the Wildcats will have any conflict. They can still push the healthy message while the league has a HJ logo. It's not like you'll be seeing a player from each team working at HJs now
