Sports2 sources2 countries🔦 Under-reported28m ago
The Papua New Guinea Chiefs have officially unveiled their logo and jersey for their inaugural NRL season. The design, created by artist Tabu, features the face of a chief to symbolize leadership. The unveiling proceeded despite ongoing legal challenges regarding the team's name.
New Zealand Rugby had sought an injunction to prevent the use of the 'Chiefs' moniker, citing potential trademark or branding conflicts. However, the High Court has denied this injunction, allowing the PNG franchise to move forward with their branding plans while the broader legal dispute remains unresolved.
