New kits honour tradition and local backing
The Bridgend Ravens have revealed their playing shirts for the 2026/27 season, combining the club’s familiar colours with a return to a historic alternate design and heavy involvement from local businesses and organisations. The kit is produced by Belief and styled by Bridgend creative agency TURF Creative.
The club’s customary home shirt retains the recognisable blue and white hooped pattern that generations of supporters associate with Ravens rugby. Alongside it the alternative jersey has been brought back in a striking yellow colourway, a look that the club says references an important strand of its past.
Front-of-shirt partner and community links
Occupying the primary front position on both shirts is NOVOMATIC Gaming UK. The company’s association with the club is presented as extending beyond sponsorship into wider community activity in partnership with the club and local charity Y Bont.
Club officials also highlighted a number of commercial partners displayed on the new strip. Their continued support is described as playing an important role in the club’s ongoing development on and off the field.

The new kits are presented as a blend of continuity and revival: the home shirt nods to the club’s deep-rooted identity, while the alternative shirt harks back to a past look now brought forward for a new season. For a club embedded in its town, the prominence of local businesses and a children’s charity on the shirts underlines the close ties between sport and community in Bridgend.
Supporters will see the new designs appearing on the pitch next season as the club prepares for another campaign wearing colours that carry both history and local connection.
