Brisbane Broncos Unveil Powerful Black Jersey to Champion Mental Health in Sport
Broncos Tackle Mental Health with Striking New Jersey
The Brisbane Broncos have launched a significant initiative, unveiling a striking black jersey designed to raise awareness and support for mental health across all levels of sport. The jersey's launch, held on Tuesday, featured Broncos stars Corey Jensen, Kotoni Staggs, and Jesse Arthars, who proudly modelled the minimalist yet impactful kit.
This isn't just about a new jersey; it's a powerful statement. The Broncos have partnered with the renowned Black Dog Institute, a leading mental health research and support organisation, and apparel sponsor ASICS to bring this important project to life. The jersey’s design reflects a commitment to breaking down stigmas and encouraging open conversations about mental wellbeing.
A Symbol of Support and Awareness
The minimalist design of the jersey is deliberate. It avoids unnecessary distractions, allowing the message of mental health awareness to take centre stage. The black colour itself carries a weight of seriousness, prompting reflection and understanding. The Broncos believe this design will resonate with players, fans, and the wider community.
Beyond the Field: A Commitment to Wellbeing
The Broncos have a long-standing commitment to the wellbeing of their players and the broader community. This jersey launch is a tangible demonstration of that commitment. Funds raised from jersey sales will directly support the Black Dog Institute's vital research and programs, providing crucial assistance to those struggling with mental health challenges.
“We want to create a culture where it’s okay to not be okay,” said Broncos CEO Dave Donaghy. “This jersey is a symbol of that commitment. We hope it encourages people to reach out for help when they need it and to support those around them.”
When and Where to See the Jersey in Action
The Broncos will proudly wear the black jersey during select matches throughout the season, further amplifying the message of mental health awareness. Keep an eye on the Broncos’ official website and social media channels for details on upcoming games where the jersey will be worn.
