🏉 2027 NBHS 1ST XV | THE LEGACY JERSEY 🔵⚪

OUR HISTORY. OUR BROTHERHOOD. OUR LEGACY.

In 2027, the Napier Boys’ High School 1st XV will take the field wearing something much bigger than a rugby jersey.

They will wear our history.

Introducing the 2027 NBHS 1st XV Legacy Jersey — designed by Head Coach, NBHS Old Boy and former 1st XV Captain Willie Tran.

The Legacy Jersey represents the Sky Blue Brotherhood — connecting the generations who have worn the jersey before with the young men privileged to wear it today.

For generations, NBHS rugby has created friendships, memories and bonds that last well beyond the final whistle. The Legacy Jersey is our opportunity to carry those connections with us every time the 1st XV takes the field in 2027.

💙 YOUR NAME. OUR JERSEY. OUR LEGACY.

Old Boys, former players, families, supporters, businesses and members of our wider NBHS community are invited to have their name (surname included) on the 2027 1st XV Legacy Jersey.

Your name will become part of the jersey and part of the journey — proudly carried by the 2027 1st XV throughout their season.

$100 per name/surname

📅 Entries close 31 October 2026

This is more than sponsorship.

It is about belonging. Connection. Brotherhood. History.

It is about reminding the next generation that whenever they pull on the Sky Blue jersey, they never wear it alone.

PAST. PRESENT. FUTURE.
ONE SCHOOL. ONE BROTHERHOOD. ONE LEGACY.
