Sale Sharks shirt to feature iconic Manchester bee

Sale Sharks’ away shirt for the 2017/2018 season will feature the iconic worker bee in memory of the victims of the Manchester terror attack.

The Manchester-based rugby club kicks off their Aviva Premiership campaign this Friday away to last season’s beaten finalists Wasps.

The worker bee – which represents the industrial heritage of Manchester and was adopted into the city’s coat of arms in 1842 – will join the logos of corporate partners Together, Litmos, Morson and headline sponsor UKFast on the shirt.

Seashell Trust – a Manchester charity that provides a creative, happy and secure environment for children and young adults with complex and severe learning disabilities – will also feature on the away shirt between the shoulders throughout this season.

Sale Sharks Director of Rugby Steve Diamond said the presence of the bee will bring an already tight knit squad closer together.
He said: “It’s now more than a year since two prominent Manchester businessmen Simon Orange and Ged Mason became the co-owners of Sale Sharks.

“Ever since Simon and Ged came in we have been working hard to improve all aspects of the club. This season, with a handful of world class signings secured over the summer and with the backing of our brilliant fans and corporate partners, we intend to make our mark in the Premiership.”

He added: “Ever since May’s devastating attack at Manchester Arena, people in this region have shown incredible unity and strength while also showing the world what a truly special place Manchester is. Having the iconic worker bee on our away shirt will only enhance the community spirit of our rugby club, whilst also expressing our intention to continue to help all of those affected by the tragic attack through the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund.

“Our players will wear the shirt with pride throughout the whole of the 2017/2018 season.”
Cllr Sue Murphy, chair of the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund, said: “We are delighted Sale Sharks are showing their support for the Emergency Fund by including the iconic bee on their shirts and by fundraising for us.

“We continue to be unbelievably grateful for the solidarity shown to the people of Manchester and the victims of the attack. The money raised will make a real difference to the lives of those people.”
Dominic Tinner, Head of Fundraising, Marketing and Community Development at Seashell Trust said: “We are extremely pleased to feature on the Sale Sharks kit. It will only boost awareness of the important work Seashell Trust does in the community.”

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could

    Maybe you could space it out better?

  27. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering what all is
    needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
    pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure.

  28. What i don’t realize is in fact how you are no longer actually much more neatly-preferred than you
    may be now. You are very intelligent. You know thus considerably on the subject
    of this matter, made me for my part imagine it from so
    many numerous angles. Its like women and men are not
    interested until it is one thing to do with Woman gaga!

    Your personal stuffs outstanding. Always care for it up!

  31. What i don’t understood is if truth be told how you’re no longer
    really much more neatly-appreciated than you may be now. You’re very intelligent.
    You understand thus significantly in the case of this subject, made me in my view believe it
    from a lot of various angles. Its like men and
    women don’t seem to be fascinated until it’s something to do
    with Girl gaga! Your own stuffs nice. Always deal with it up!

  32. You are so awesome! I do not think I’ve read a single thing like this before.
