Daily Telegraph – Win your name on front of NSW Stage of Origin jersey worn by a player during game 2 of State of Origin

The Daily Telegraph are backing the VB Blues in the upcoming State of Origin and thanks to Victoria Bitter you can too, with the chance to have your name printed on the front of one of the players during State of Origin Game 2.

For the first time in State of Origin history, the names of NSW VB Blues fans will appear front and centre on the Blues players’ jerseys during the game. At all three State of Origin matches this year, VB will give up its logo, replacing the words ‘VICTORIA BITTER’ on the front of the iconic NSW jersey with the names of Blues fans from across the state.

“The great thing about Origin is it isn’t just a game for rugby league followers. Origin unites the entire state and VB is helping us call up a second team this year: the Blues fans. Blues supporters are the most passionate fans in Australian sport and this year, Victoria Bitter is putting them in the game, on the field, right there with the boys,” said Laurie Daley, Coach of the NSW VB Blues.

Thanks to Victoria Bitter and The Daily Telegraph, one lucky reader has the chance for their name to be printed as part of the VB Back the Blues promotion.
