The Eels shirt that the kid is wearing in the below photo is actually the new Eels medical garment worn by children undergoing treatment.
What a beautiful initiative. Well done Parramatta.
Wow awesome idea! Great think tanking!
Here’s the full story from parraeels.com.au
Supertee is proud to announce the launch of the Parramatta Eels Supertee, a new children’s medical garment designed in the colours of one of rugby league’s most passionate and iconic clubs.
This marks the first time a Supertee has featured an official professional sports design, made possible through the generous support of Parramatta Leagues Club and the wider Eels community.
Crafted from soft, breathable cotton, every Supertee is designed to support comfort, dignity and improved medical access during hospital care. The garment is compatible with MRI and PET scans and allows nurses and carers to dress and support children without disconnecting tubes, wires or monitors.
Supertee garments are gifted free of charge to children in hospitals locally and across Australia. Supertee founder Jason Sotiris first created the garment after his daughter Angela received treatment at Westmead Hospital in 2018.
“Supertee started here. Now we’re returning with something that carries community pride and team spirit into the hands of kids who need it most. This is not just about a shirt — it’s about helping children feel supported, confident and connected.
“Research shows that children who feel supported by their community often experience greater emotional resilience throughout treatment. A sense of belonging through a shared identity can make a hospital stay less overwhelming and more hopeful,” added Sotiris.
This important initiative has been supported through a Community ClubGRANT from Parramatta Leagues Club (Parra Group), along with additional sponsorship.
The PARRA Group is recognised as the largest provider of community funding in the City of Parramatta via the Community ClubGRANTS program, with PARRA Group CEO Chris Dimou emphasising the Group's commitment to supporting meaningful local initiatives.
“Our community is at the heart of everything we do. The Eels Supertee is an initiative we’re incredibly proud to support, and we hope it brings smiles to the faces of children who deserve it most,” Dimou said.
With the launch of the Parramatta Eels Supertee, Supertee will continue gifting garments to children in hospitals nationwide. This initiative also paves the way for future collaborations with other clubs and sporting codes.

Yeh this is a cracker. Fantastic initiative from the club. Congratulations to all involved.
Yes. Great initiative. Well done to everyone
This is how you build business relationships in the community with positive PR. Sure attending hospitals, schools and attending charity days giving away free training gear and footies is great but this is something beyond that and means a lot to families going through tough times.
I have spent a lot of time in hospitals over my life and remember getting toys delivered on Christmas day while in hospital. I remember eels and tigers players hanging out us along with the mascots when a commercial was filmed. I was already a Parra fan but can see how simple things like this make a life long fan of a kid and their family.
Visits from players and training gear are pretty common now but this is so much better. This is a product to make kids more comfortable and make their stay in hospital easier which means families and parents will look at the eels in a different way.
Things like this giving back to the community in new innovative ways changes how businesses look at the eels as well. It could bring in a sponsorship or TPA down the track, when little Johnny's dad remembers what it meant to him seeing the befits of a simple shirt which made Johnny's hospital stay easier.
