Eagles announce SAMURAI kit Partnership

13/11/2025

Sheffield Eagles and The Eagles Foundation are proud to announce an initial two-year partnership with SAMURAI as our Official Sportswear and Teamwear Supplier.

As we continue to grow both on and off the field, aligning with a brand recognised for its innovation, quality, and performance is a perfect fit for our ambitions. SAMURAI’s reputation for excellence mirrors the values that define Sheffield Eagles; pride, unity, and a relentless drive to achieve.

Our players and staff from across all our teams will wear SAMURAI apparel, powered by Kitlocker, that represents our identity and supports our commitment to inclusivity, performance, and progress. Together, we’ll honour the traditions that shape our club while embracing the modern, dynamic spirit of rugby today.

Director of Club Operations Mark Hannigan, said, “We undertook a thorough process in sourcing a kit partner who could fulfil the requirements of all our teams at Sheffield Eagles going forward.  We are really pleased to have signed a multi-year partnership with SAMURAI, through locally based Kitlocker, to become our new kit partners.

 “The partnership will see us working closely with them to not only supply kits for all our teams, but to work with us on our retail offering and the diversity of products and designs we can offer.  This coupled with Kitlocker’s fast turnaround and distribution services, will allow us to take our retail offering to the next level going forward.”

Mike Atkin, Director – Licensed Brands at Kitlocker, said, “As a Sheffield-born company, this partnership means a huge amount to us. The Eagles are such a big part of this city’s sporting identity, and to play a role in shaping what they wear is genuinely special. It’s more than just a kit, it’s a reflection of Sheffield’s strength, creativity, and community spirit. We’re incredibly proud to bring that to life alongside SAMURAI.”

We look forward to proudly wearing the SAMURAI brand throughout this partnership with passion, pride, and purpose, and we look forward to revealing our new 2026 Home and Away kits very soon!
