Philadelphia Whitemarsh Rugby Football Club is a SuperLeague rugby union team based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
[edit] History
Philadelphia Whitemarsh RFC formed in 1985 as the result of a merger between the former Philadelphia and Whitemarsh clubs. Prior to the merger, both clubs were facing a decline in membership. The Philadelphia club had a secure home ground in Fairmount Park and the Whitemarsh club had a good clubhouse, so the clubs merged with the hopes of becoming a more successful club. The club colors became red with blue stripes, and the new logo was a combination of Philadelphia's Liberty Bell logo and Whitemarsh's wallaby. [1]
[edit] Sponsorship
The SuperLeague's primary sponsor is Michelob Amber Bock and as such, each individual team receives a portion of those revenues. In addition to Amber Bock, Philly-Whitemarsh RFC has individual sponsorships. Notable primary sponsors include Royall Lyme. The club also has several secondary sponsorships from local and regional businesses. [2]
