Tonight, the Saints will run on to Etihad Stadium for their first NAB Cup game against respected rivals Sydney Swans and Geelong proudly sporting a new sponsor.

The St Kilda Football Club is delighted to welcome Ozito to the Saints as a Premier Partner of the Club.

The Ozito logo will be displayed on the Saints playing shorts from tonight, following the signing of a new three year sponsorship agreement.

Ozito, who have supplied their range of power tools and garden products to Bunnings Warehouse since 1993, have developed a marketing and advertising program with the Club which focuses on the Ozito brand message of ‘give it a go’.

St Kilda Football Club Chief Executive Michael Nettlefold said the exciting new partnership is a great result for the Club.

“Ozito is an Australian based company, and as one of the country’s leading power tool suppliers, we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome Ozito to the St Kilda family.”

“Ozito’s commitment to providing quality products with a competitive edge fits perfectly with what the St Kilda Football Club strives to deliver.”

“We look forward to working closely with Ozito over the next three years.”

Ozito’s Chief Executive Rob Marais said this partnership is a natural fit for their brand.

“Ozito are excited to become a Partner of the St Kilda Football Club for the next three years. For us it seems like a natural fit of sport and business working in parallel with each other with the aim of achieving the highest goal in their respective areas.”

“This partnership also allows us to continue to build our brand awareness of our comprehensive range of power tools and power garden products on a national basis and spread the message of ‘give it a go with Ozito’.”

This new partnership will feature the Ozito logo on the front of the Club’s playing and training shorts, branding & signage, digital marketing, player ambassadors, customer & staff engagement plus match day activation. This includes the Ozito ‘give it a go’ promotional challenge at each Saints home game at Etihad Stadium and naming rights to St Kilda Football Club’s largest corporate Member group - the 300 Club.
