Edinburgh Rugby drives forward with Mitsubishi

Scottish rugby union team Edinburgh Rugby has announced a one-year sponsorship deal with the UK subsidiary of Japanese automotive manufacturer Mitsubishi Motors.

Mitsubishi will benefit from logo placement above the number on the back of Edinburgh’s home and away jerseys throughout the 2013-14 season, while the club will co-operate with its local Belmont Mitsubishi dealership.

Mitsubishi joins main club sponsor BT Sport, official beer Caledonia Best and kit supplier Macron on Edinburgh’s sponsorship roster.

Edinburgh competes in the Pro12 and Heineken Cup competitions and is one of two professional rugby teams in Scotland alongside Glasgow Warriors.

It plays its home matches at Murrayfield, Scottish rugby’s national stadium.
