What's the Competition?

We're inviting young Coventry Rugby supporters aged 6 to 16 to design a brand-new shirt for Nelly the Elephant, our much-loved mascot. Whether they grab pencils, paints, felt-tips or go digital — all styles and creativity are welcome!

The winning design will be brought to life and worn by Nelly herself, and the lucky winner gets to lead the squad out onto the pitch on matchday vs Worcester Warriors (21st November). What a moment to remember!
