MG Motor Australia reveals octagonal shaped key in unique NBL partnership
Google Advertisements

Australia, October 2018: In what is believed to be a world-first, MG Motor Australia has partnered with the NBL to reveal an octagonal shaped key on court.

 

The keyway on the NBL basketball court traditionally features a circle shape, however for 28 games throughout the 2018/2019 Hungry Jack’s NBL season, the key will be transformed into the signature MG Motor octagon.

 

The octagonal key debuted during the season tip-off in New Zealand on Thursday 11 October, and was also seen at the weekend’s much anticipated clashes between the Illawarra Hawks and Melbourne United, and the Sydney Kings vs the Adelaide 36ers, in which Melbourne United and the Adelaide 36ers took out wins.

 

The NBL announced MG Motor Australia as the official car partner for the next three years. MG is also the presenting partner of the NBL Grand Final Series and will award the NBL Finals MVP winner an MG ZS.

 

“MG has always been a brand that embraces fun. We wanted to do something that had not yet been done, and knew that changing the key to an octagon would certainly get people talking!” Danny Lenartic, Marketing Director at MG Motor Australia said.

 

“The octagon is an iconic shape that has been associated with MG for over 90 years of the brand’s history. The teams and crowd embraced the new-look key at its debut and we look forward to rolling this out further throughout the 2019 season.” noted Lenartic

 

The MG octagonal key will feature in a further 25 games throughout the season, with the next opportunity to see the octagonal key when the Cairns Taipans take on the Illawarra Hawks in Cairns on 21 October.

    There have been championship runs in the NBL defined by dominance and the sheer weight of talent that could overwhelm opponents before the ball was tipped. The dynasties of Perth, the star-studded reign of Melbourne, and the rise of Sydney’s financial muscle all tell tales of powerhouses that knew how to stay at the top. But there has only ever been one championship like Wollongong’s in 2001—a title won through sheer resilience, a team that had no business being there until they forced their way…

  • If Dyson Daniels Doesn’t Win Defensive Player of the Year, It’s a Disgrace

    The Defensive Player of the Year (DPOY) award is supposed to recognise the most dominant defender in the NBA.

Daniels is Leading the NBA in Every Key Defensive Stat There’s no argument against Daniels’ defensive dominance this…

  • Sydney Kings’ Xavier Cooks Faces Further Consequences After Positive Cocaine Test

Basketball Australia later confirmed the ban, though the club initially cited “personal leave” as the reason for his absence. Despite the violation, Sydney Kings officials reportedly want to retain Cooks, who remains under contract for…

  • New Sydney NBL Team: A Next Stars Hub in the Making?

    A second Sydney NBL team is expected to be the league’s next expansion franchise, with Gold Coast, Darwin, and Canberra all encountering significant roadblocks in recent months. It’s believed the Harbour City Stars is the leading candidate for the team name, following a branding strategy similar to how San Francisco’s Golden State Warriors use a regional moniker rather than the city’s name. This broader identity would emphasize the team’s connection to Sydney’s iconic harbor while avoiding geographical constraints within the city. In addition to Harbour…
