In late July 2026, Penrite Oil announced a partnership with the newly formed Perth Bears, becoming the club’s Foundation Major Partner and the primary back‑jersey sponsor. The deal was highlighted at a Penrite open‑day and featured the Bears’ logo on Penrite Racing Mustangs at the Supercars Perth Super440 event.

A week later, in early August 2026, the Perth Bears unveiled their inaugural NRL jersey. The red‑and‑black design, inspired by the historic North Sydney Bears, displayed the Cash Converters logo on the front, marking the sponsor’s return to top‑flight rugby league. The launch, held at the WACA Ground and streamed to North Sydney, underscored the club’s aim to build a competitive, community‑focused franchise in Western Australia.
