Star21 have joined the Box Hill Hawks as their major partner for 2012, and will appear on the front and back of their jumpers.

Star21 have been a long time sponsor of the Hawthorn Football Club and saw Box Hill as an opportunity to increase their brand profile.

“Star21 supports many elite and community based sporting clubs in Victoria and we are extremely excited by the opportunity to jump on board as major sponsor of the Box Hill Hawks," Managing Director of Star21 Bill Asimakidis said of the deal.

"We wish the team every success for the upcoming season and look forward to forging a strong relationship with the club and its loyal members and supporters."

Hawthorn and Box Hill have a long relationship working together both on and off the field and their support with helping to secure Star21 is evidence of this.

“We are delighted to have Star21 on board as our major partner in 2012 and look forward to what will hopefully be a long term partnership with Bill, Sam and everyone at Star21,” Box Hill Hawks President, Tony Pinwill said.

“The decision to go away from the traditional Box Hill ‘Mustang’ jumper was a difficult decision and took many months of discussion by the board.”

“Hawthorn make a significant investment to Box Hill Hawks and in the end it was decided wearing Hawthorn style jumpers would bring the two clubs together.  So far feedback from the players regarding the new jumpers has been very positive.”
