This year, ’47 announced our exciting new partnership with the Big Bash League (BBL) –– a high-energy game of Twenty20 cricket played by men’s and women’s teams from eight major Australian cities. As the official headwear partner, we’ve recently made some great new mates down under, finding very quickly that cricketers and ’47 share a love for expressive energy that transcends sport and lifestyle.
From the Gold Coast to the Western Outback and the Tasman Peninsula, the personalities are strong and unique –– just how we like ’em. As an addition to our #LETYOURYOUOUT storytelling, we traveled far and wide to meet some of the individuals beneath the BBL uniform and learn more about life on and off the pitch.
To no surprise –– the same energy that has made these individuals into talented athletes is reflected in their other talents –– and vise versa.
