The Roar Store, now open at the team’s Punt Road stadium, is exclusively operated by Fanatics.
The online Roar Store, which is now live, utilizes Fanatics’ Cloud Commerce Platform.
This partnership with the 13-time AFL Premiership winners builds upon Fanatics’ growing presence across Australia, which kicked off with a league-wide deal with the AFL last year and has since expanded to include the Essendon Football Club and Rugby Australia governing body.
Speaking on the partnership, Dino Imbriano, general manager of consumer business at Richmond Football Club, said: “When looking for new ways to engage passionate Tigers fans around the world, it made perfect sense for us to partner with Fanatics.”
