The Western Bulldogs have announced a new guernsey sponsor after partnering with Mercedes-Benz.

The three-year sponsorship will see Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia on the back of the Bulldogs jumper.

According to the announcement on the club website:

It is the first time the Bulldogs have aligned with an automotive manufacturer, and the first partnership with a major sporting club for Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia.

As principal partner for the 2018 season and beyond, the Mercedes Benz-Vans logo will feature on the back of the Bulldogs’ AFL guernsey, with Mission Foods remaining on the front of the guernsey as the major partner of the Club.

The Mercedes-Benz Vans logo will also be prominent on the Club’s apparel and official media backdrop from next season.
