Adelaide 36ers and Nippy’s extend partnership til 2029

The Adelaide 36ers are proud to announce a three-year partnership extension with Nippy’s, continuing one of the longest-standing partnerships in Australian basketball.

Having celebrated a decade of working together during the NBL26 season, the new agreement will see the partnership extend through to 13 consecutive years - a testament to the connection and shared values between two iconic South Australian brands.

For 50 years, Nippy’s has been a household name - a proudly South Australian owned, third generation, family-run manufacturer of real fruit juices and flavoured milk drinks.

Since joining forces in 2016, the Adelaide 36ers and Nippy’s have built a partnership grounded in family values and a commitment to representing South Australia proudly on the national stage.

Adelaide 36ers CEO Nic Barbato said the extension reflects the strength of the relationship and the alignment between the two organisations.

“We’re incredibly proud to continue our partnership with Nippy’s, a brand that is synonymous with South Australia,” Mr Barbato said.

“To reach 13 years together is a significant milestone in modern sport and speaks to the trust and genuine connection that exists between our organisations.

“Both the Adelaide 36ers and Nippy’s have deep roots in this state and strong ambitions nationally. We’re both passionate about representing South Australia the right way.

“Nippy’s has been an important part of our journey for more than a decade and we’re excited to continue building on that partnership into the future.”

Nippy’s General Manager Frank Morena said the company was delighted to continue its long-standing partnership with the Adelaide 36ers.

“The Adelaide 36ers are one of South Australia’s most recognised sporting organisations, and we’re incredibly proud to extend a partnership that has become such an important part of our business and community involvement,” Mr Morena said.

“At Nippy’s, we’re passionate about supporting local organisations that share our values of family, hard work, and community connection.

“Over the past decade, we’ve watched the club continue to grow both on and off the court, and we’ve been proud to stand alongside them throughout that journey.

“As a third-generation South Australian family business celebrating more than 50 years in business, we understand the importance of long-term relationships, loyalty, and investing in the future.

“The Adelaide 36ers provide a fantastic platform to connect with South Australians and showcase two iconic local brands working together to achieve great outcomes.

“We look forward to continuing our partnership and supporting the club, its members, and its fans for many years to come.”
