Jersey and Sponsors

2013 Women in League Jersey

In 2013 the Panthers had changed jersey suppliers, ending the relationship with supplier ISC, and starting a new apparel agreement with ASICS. They retained their predominantly black home jerseys from 2012, with minor changes to the collar, mainly due to the change in supplier. The alternate jersey was predominantly white with teal hoops around the midsection, though this jersey was seldom used in 2013, instead opting to use the Women in League jersey for away fixtures which is pink in colour. The heritage jersey used was the 1967 white 'V' on brown design.

OAK were again the major sponsor of the Panthers in 2013. Hertz were announced as the sleeve sponsor for 2013. Tony Ferguson Weight Loss was located on the lower back of the jersey. Tooheys New and HostPlus were short sponsors for 2013.

Fixtures

The Panthers again use Centrebet Stadium as their home ground in 2013, their home ground since they entered the competition in 1967. [24] In Round 17 Penrith got their largest ever win over the Gold Coast Titans, winning 40–18.
