Sports apparel manufacturer Kooga has signed as official kit sponsor of the QR Reds and Queensland Rugby Union.

Kooga is heavily involved in club rugby in Brisbane, and also has sponsorship deals with the Junior Reds, Queensland Schoolboys and Queensland Women’s representative teams.

"Kooga will be providing us with the best high tech jerseys that modern sports science can produce. We're delighted to have them on our team," said QR Reds general manager, Daniel Herbert.

Kooga chief executive Tyron Brant added: “We’ve long harboured a desire to complete the picture by bringing the QR Reds into that fold. We’ve done that now and we couldn’t be happier. Queensland Rugby has a rich history and we have enormous faith in the future of the game in this state.”

The new 2010 QR Reds Kooga jersey will be unveiled later in the year.
