For the second consecutive season, Gilbert Netball is proud to stand alongside the Birmingham Panthers as an official partner - and what a journey it has already been.
As the Panthers step into their second year competing in the reimagined Netball Super League (NSL), it marks not just another season, but another chapter in what has quickly become a powerful and ambitious partnership.
Building Momentum in a New Era
The launch of the new-era NSL signalled an exciting evolution for elite netball in the UK - raising standards, increasing visibility, and strengthening the pathway from grassroots to professional competition. From day one, Birmingham Panthers have embodied that same ambition.
Their first season in the new-look league showcased resilience, flair and a fearless style of play that captured attention across the competition. Now, entering year two, there’s belief, momentum and a clear sense of identity building within the squad.
At Gilbert Netball, we share that mindset. As a brand with a long-standing heritage in the sport, we are committed to supporting teams who are pushing the game forward - on and off the court.
A Partnership Rooted in Performance
Our relationship with Birmingham Panthers goes beyond supplying world-class match and training balls. It’s about collaboration, visibility and shared values.
From pre-season preparation through to high-intensity NSL match days, we’re proud to see the Panthers training and competing with Gilbert at the heart of their environment. Performance equipment matters at the elite level, and consistency in quality allows players to focus fully on delivering their best.
But this partnership is also about connection - connecting with fans, inspiring young players and strengthening the netball community across Birmingham and beyond.
Inspiring the Next Generation
The Midlands has always been a hot spot for netball talent. Seeing the Panthers establish themselves in the league’s new era provides young players with role models they can watch, learn from and aspire to become.
At Gilbert Netball, grassroots development remains central to everything we do. Working alongside a team that understands its role within the wider community allows us to amplify that impact - whether through club engagement, school connections or fan experiences.
Year two in the NSL isn’t just about results. It’s about growth, legacy and inspiring the next wave of athletes.
Looking Ahead
As the Panthers continue to establish themselves in this exciting new chapter of the Netball Super League, we’re proud to continue the journey with them.
Partnerships in sport are strongest when they’re built on shared ambition and that’s exactly what this relationship represents. A commitment to excellence. A drive to innovate. And a passion for growing the game.
Here’s to another season of intensity, progression and unforgettable moments.
