Wests Tigers today unveiled the specially created Skyfall jersey for the round three Telstra Premiership clash against Parramatta Eels at historic Leichhardt Oval on Friday, March 22.
The jersey is all part of the celebration of the home entertainment release of the box office smash hit Skyfall in conjunction with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.
Captain Robbie Farah and half-back Jacob Miller proudly modelled the Skyfall jersey. The jersey is not available for retail sale. The '007' on the back of Miller's jersey is for promotional use only and will not be seen in the game.
Directed by Oscar winner Sam Mendes and starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, Skyfall is released on Blu-ray and DVD on Wednesday, March 27. The 23rd and most successful film in the James Bond franchise has given its name to the Wests Tigers jersey which will feature the iconic gun barrel logo.
Wests Tigers have planned a big night of activities around the Skyfall theme including:
- a special 'Bond Bay' seating bay area at Leichhardt Oval with fans encouraged to come dress 'Bond style'.
- A theme Bond corporate room
- Half-time on-field Bond promotion with selected fans.
"We're thrilled to partner with MGM and Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment on this exciting promotion to launch the Blu-ray and DVD release of the biggest Bond film ever," said Wests Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys.
"The club is thrilled to have the opportunity to auction these one-off jerseys to raise significant funds for our affiliate charity, The Children's Cancer Institute of Australia."
Tickets for the 'Bond Bay' are available through Wests Tigers on (02) 8741 3300.
