A striking enamel badge for Tetley Bitter, featuring a bold black panel with red‑and‑gold lettering set against a detailed red cricket ball. This design reflects Tetley’s long association with British sport, particularly cricket sponsorship during the late 20th century. The stitching detail on the ball and the crisp typography give the badge strong visual impact, making it an appealing piece for brewery collectors and cricket enthusiasts alike. Condition is very good: clean enamel, strong colour, and only light age‑related handling marks. No cracks, chips, or notable wear. A tidy, display‑ready example.
Tetley – A Yorkshire Brewing Icon with Deep Sporting Links
Tetley has been a cornerstone of British brewing since 1822, growing from a Leeds‑based family brewery into one of the UK’s most recognisable beer brands. By the 1970s–1990s, Tetley Bitter had become a staple of pubs nationwide, supported by major advertising campaigns and high‑profile sports sponsorships — especially cricket, where Tetley branding appeared on scoreboards, boundary boards, and club merchandise. Promotional items like this badge capture the era when breweries used sport to reinforce regional pride and national visibility, making them popular with collectors of both brewery memorabilia and cricket history.
