It’s been an exciting month for Wests Tigers fans, with the announcement of the Club’s new Performance Apparel Partner, Canterbury of New Zealand (CCC), the beginning of NRL pre-season and the release of Home and Away jerseys for 2026.
Amongst all the hype over the Wests Tigers apparel range for the year ahead, the Club’s Major Partner, Pepper Money has played an integral role in the look and feel of the new playing strips.
Pepper Money – who have been involved with the Wests Tigers since 2023 – assumed the role of Major Partner at the beginning of the 2025 season with their distinctive logo adorning the front of the NRL and NRLW playing jerseys.
In 2025, the Pepper Money logo was placed inside a white box on both the Home and Away jerseys.
Ahead of the 2026 season, Pepper Money are proud to have been seamlessly integrated into the Wests Tigers latest jersey designs – leaving the white box behind.
As part of CCC’s new partnership with the Wests Tigers, all three parties have worked closely together to ensure Pepper Money’s branding complements CCC’s new jersey design in what is being labelled a ‘huge win’ for Wests Tigers fans.
Reflecting on the partnership, Pepper Money CEO, Mario Rehayem said:
“At Pepper Money, we back those who live and think outside the box. We’re proud to be part of something that means so much to the Wests Tigers community. This new look is more than a design change. It reflects who we are and who we stand beside.
This new look reflects the kind of partnership we believe in. One built on purpose, pride and showing up in the right way.

“We’re proud to stand alongside the Club and its supporters in a design that feels true to both our brand and theirs,” Rehayem concluded.
Wests Tigers Chief Commercial Officer, Peter Lang thanked Pepper Money for their collaboration on the 2026 jersey designs.
“On behalf of the Club, we’re grateful to Mario and the Pepper Money team for their work on integrating their logo into the 2026 Home and Away jerseys,” Lang said.
“We’re proud to be associated with a brand like Pepper Money and have their logo in such a prestigious position on the front of our jersey. We’re really excited to now have Pepper Money’s branding so seamlessly incorporated into Canterbury’s design for 2026.
“Our jersey is an integral piece of the Club’s identity, and its design and overall aesthetic is hugely important, I know this change from Pepper Money will be well received right across our fanbase.
“This process has only reaffirmed the alignment of our two brands and illustrates Pepper Money’s wonderful support of the Wests Tigers and commitment to our Members and fans,” Lang concluded.
The Wests Tigers 2026 Home and Away jerseys are available for purchase via the Roarstore website or by visiting the Wests Tigers Centre of Excellence, Loftus Street, Concord.
