The Kangaroos will boast a startling new look as they help young kids chase rainbows at a special training session on Thursday in Melbourne.
For one of the few times since 1928, the Australian Rugby League team will put aside the Green and Gold and exchange the famous jersey for a specially designed ‘rainbow kit’ to show their support for Project Rainbow.
The brightly coloured jerseys shorts and socks are guaranteed to turn heads when the team trains at 10am at Olympic Park tomorrow.
Project Rainbow is an initiative of the Sony Foundation in association with Harvey Norman, Domayne and Joyce Mayne stores across Australia, which raises funds through the sale of wristbands to support Children’s Holiday Camps.
The four-day camps give high school students an opportunity to take time out of their school holidays to care for disabled children. The enriching experience also provides respite for parents whose lives revolve around the 24-hour care of their child.
