The TV, available for sale from kogan.com, is a 42” Full HD LED TV branded with Collingwood Football Club logos on the front, on the start-up screen, and on the remote control. If this is not exciting enough for Collingwood fans, the price tag is a market shattering $449 and if you are a Collingwood member, Kogan will shout you a club polo, cap and scarf. If you are not already a Collingwood member, Kogan will shout you a Magpie Insider membership.

Eddie McGuire, President of Collingwood Football Club, said the unique partnership with Kogan is a coming together of two great Australian organisations.

“Kogan is a home grown success story which is why they’re the perfect partner for Collingwood, a national sporting icon,” McGuire said.

“Kogan is a company renowned for quality, something we are now able to directly share with our members and fans. Hopefully, there will be a lot of joy for the Collingwood army in watching their team on a Collingwood TV. It will be the next best thing to being there at a packed MCG.”

Ruslan Kogan, Founder and CEO of Kogan.com, said Collingwood Football Club was the most innovative sporting club he had dealt with.

“Collingwood is the perfect club to partner with on a world first concept like this.

"This is another example of innovation at Kogan and demonstrates our commitment to producing the latest technology at Australia's best prices," Kogan said.
