The Daily Telegraph are backing the VB Blues in the upcoming State of Origin and thanks to Victoria Bitter you can too, with the chance to have your name printed on the front of one of the players during State of Origin Game 2.
For the first time in State of Origin history, the names of NSW VB Blues fans will appear front and centre on the Blues players’ jerseys during the game. At all three State of Origin matches this year, VB will give up its logo, replacing the words ‘VICTORIA BITTER’ on the front of the iconic NSW jersey with the names of Blues fans from across the state.
“The great thing about Origin is it isn’t just a game for rugby league followers. Origin unites the entire state and VB is helping us call up a second team this year: the Blues fans. Blues supporters are the most passionate fans in Australian sport and this year, Victoria Bitter is putting them in the game, on the field, right there with the boys,” said Laurie Daley, Coach of the NSW VB Blues.
Thanks to Victoria Bitter and The Daily Telegraph, one lucky reader has the chance for their name to be printed as part of the VB Back the Blues promotion.
For your chance to have your name printed on a jersey worn by a NSW VB Blues player during State of Origin 2 played on June 18 at ANZ Stadium, tell us in 25 words or less why you’re the biggest Blues fan. The most creative answer will win. This competition is a game of skill. Chance plays no part in determining the winner.
