Netball Singapore on Friday (3 August) announces a new era for its national team, now officially named the Singapore Vandas, and the appointment of Ms Jane Ittogi as the Patron of Netball Singapore. The new identity pays homage to the resilient and  ever-blooming national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, and marks an exciting new chapter  of excellence for the team. The announcement was made at the Kallang Netball  Centre, coinciding with the Deloitte Pesta Sukan carnival.

 

The appointment of Ms Ittogi as Patron brings a fresh wave of dedication and visibility to the sport. Netball Singapore President Trina Liang highlighted the significance of Ms Ittogi’s  involvement: "We are honoured to welcome Ms Jane Ittogi as our Patron. Her dedication to  social causes and commitment to fostering growth and excellence align perfectly with Netball  Singapore’s mission. Ms Ittogi’s support will undoubtedly bring enhanced visibility and  advocacy for netball in Singapore.” 


One of the event's highlights was the unveiling of the new brand identity for the Singapore  National Netball team, now called the Singapore Vandas. This new name symbolises the  strength, elegance and perseverance associated with Singapore’s national flower, Vanda Miss  Joaquim, reflecting the team’s commitment to excellence and perseverance. The logo,  designed by Deloitte’s Hoo Swee Eng, incorporates the Vanda Miss Joaquim and represents  courage, strength, and the spirit of netball. The logo’s shape and strokes form a woman’s face,  with a netball inside the top petal symbolising the sport.

The event also featured the unveiling of a striking new mural at the Kallang Netball Centre.  Ms Ittogi presented the new playing jerseys featuring the Singapore Vandas logo to the  national team. The jerseys will be worn by the team as they compete in the upcoming Mirxes  Nations Cup from 1 to 7 September 2024 at the OCBC Arena and the Asian Netball  Championships in India in October. 


Liang expressed her excitement about the new chapter for Netball Singapore: "We are thrilled  to embark on this new chapter with the launch of the Singapore Vandas. Our new identity  reflects the essence of our national flower, known for its hardiness and beauty, and underscores our team's dedication to achieving strong performances on the international  stage.”
