Never tried it myself but I'm sure someone will. The Newcastle Falcons acquisition adds another sport to the vast array of Red Bull sponsored sports, including: "Red Bull has a vast sponsorship portfolio that extends far beyond Formula 1. They are known for their extensive involvement in a wide range of sports, often with a focus on extreme and action sports, but also in more traditional areas. Here's a breakdown of some of the sports Red Bull sponsors: Motorsports (beyond F1): * MotoGP: They sponsor factory teams like Red Bull KTM Factory Racing, as well as various riders. * Rally/Rallycross: They're involved in events like the Dakar Rally and sponsor teams in rallycross. * DTM (Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters): They sponsor teams in this touring car series. * Australian Supercars Championship: They have a presence in this popular Australian racing series. * Drifting * Motorbike Supermoto * Superbike Team Sports (where they often own teams): * Football (Soccer): They own several football clubs, including: * RB Leipzig (Germany) * FC Red Bull Salzburg (Austria) * New York Red Bulls (USA) * Red Bull Bragantino (Brazil) * Ice Hockey: They own ice hockey teams like EHC Red Bull München (Germany) and EC Red Bull Salzburg (Austria). * Esports: They sponsor numerous esports teams and events across various games like Dota 2. Extreme & Action Sports: * Cliff Diving: They host the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. * BMX: They sponsor many BMX athletes and events. * Mountain Biking: They're heavily involved in downhill and free-ride mountain biking, including events like Red Bull Rampage. * Skiing/Freeskiing: They sponsor athletes and events in various skiing disciplines. * Snowboarding: Similar to skiing, they have a strong presence in snowboarding. * Skateboarding: They sponsor skateboarders and events. * Surfing: They have a Red Bull Surfing Team. * Kitesurfing * Wakeboarding * High Diving * Kayaking * Paragliding * Skydiving/Wingsuit Flying * Aerobatic Flying (e.g., Red Bull Air Race) * BASE Jumping Other Sports and Events: * Cycling: They've recently expanded their involvement in road cycling, acquiring a majority share in the Bora-Hansgrohe cycling team. * Rugby Union * Cricket * Athletics * Dance (e.g., Red Bull BC One - breakdancing) * Soapbox Racing (Red Bull Soapbox Race) * Flugtag (homemade flying machines competition) Red Bull's strategy involves not just sponsorship but also owning teams and creating their own events, which serves as a powerful marketing tool for their brand. ------------- "My father told me big men fall just as quick as little ones, if you put a sword through their hearts." |

Jack Nowell wouldn't be a surprise. He's been a Red Bull "athlete" for ages. Does his scrum cap still have their branding?

| I've never understood how he gets away with that. We've seen players find for wearing a gumshield manufactured by a company which isn't on the official.supplier list, yet he unilaterally advertises a product which isn't an official sponsor of any competition. |

Presumably that’s why it was OK, as he wasn’t stepping on the toes of any “official supplier”, or is there an official “energy drink supplier “? In any event, surely Jack is too much of a warm weather creature to move to Newcastle? (Speaking as a Cornishman who lived in the North East for three years)
