Northern NSW Football

Northern NSW Football (NNSWF) started under a different name in 1884 when the region’s early coal miners started forming football teams. Since then, it has become Australia’s fourth-largest member federation, with more than 73,500 registered players across 201 clubs.

“We can now obtain high-quality custom-made medals that don’t break the bank.”

– Northern NSW Football Spokesman

‘This is something we’ve never had before.’

Northern NSW Football now has custom-designed medals for each competition.

Why Badges And Medals?

A Northern NSW Football spokesman said their old medals and trophies looked like they were “off the shelf”. He said the medals “looked cheap and were not high-quality,” while the trophies were “small” and “generic”.

Neither did justice to the achievements of its players.

It was time for an upgrade. Northern NSW Football wanted a partner who could:

  • Make high-quality, durable awards.
  • Create innovative designs.
  • Allow a high level of customisation.
  • Deliver their awards on time.

But who could tick all their boxes? The answer: Badges And Medals.

‘High-quality products’

The spokesman said the team chose Badges And Medals for three reasons: their “high-quality products”, wide range of customisation options, and “highly competitive” prices.

We’ve gone from having generic medals and trophies to having custom-made pieces that have a much better brand recognition, and are now statement pieces.

“The medals, in particular, we love because they are custom designed to the individual competition. This is something we’ve never had before.”

Free, personalised samples

But the decision to choose Badges And Medals didn’t happen overnight.

First, they proved their products were up to scratch by showing Northern NSW Football samples of two medal designs they had made for them.

“We loved them,” the spokesman said. “They were real statement pieces.”

The samples were such a success that the team asked Badges And Medals to be their exclusive medal and trophy supplier for two years, 2024 and 2025.

‘Great feedback’

Since partnering with Badges And Medals, the NNSWF team has received “great feedback” from players about their new medals and trophies.

“When we have been presenting them, the players have all been seen looking closely at the detail of the lanyard and medal while the rest of their team has been handed theirs,” the spokesman said.

Seeing their reactions proved just how special the medals were.

“Badges And Medals has lifted the professionalism of our brand and competitions,” he said.
