Netball Super League | Birmingham Panthers reveal 2025 dress designed by local young designers

The Netball Super League is getting ready to relaunch in 2025, and for brand new team Birmingham Panthers, this requires a bold new dress design to take to court in.

Demonstrating the Club’s commitment to promoting and developing local talent, Birmingham Panthers have worked with Birmingham City University Fashion Design students Zoe Bennett and Rohan Scott to design their 2025 dress.

Birmingham Panthers players and coaches were heavily involved in the design process, resulting in a dress that is not only suitable to wear to push the boundaries of elite netball on court, but also perfectly represents the team’s identity.

Featuring bold blue colours and electric, neon design elements, the dress captures the creativity, strength and ambition of the Birmingham Panthers, and Head Coach Jo Trip is one of many fans of the new design, saying: “This initiative shows how powerful our young people’s ideas can be. Looking great on court is a massive part of being successful and feeling confident. If you feel good, you play well, and if you play well, you inspire those around you. This is a fantastic example of how sport and style can combine to create something really special.”

Designer Zoe Bennett added: “My design was all about being more than what meets the eye! I was inspired by the hidden rosette prints that panthers have. Combining this pattern with Rohan’s electric shapes and colours created a stand-out design that we’re both so proud of.”

Alongside their dress design, Birmingham Panthers have also revealed a partnership with the University of Wolverhampton and introduced a new mascot, Peaky the Panther, to the NSL as preparations intensify ahead of the 2025 season.
