Keighley Cougars make history with LGBTQ+ progress flag on kit
They're the first professional sports team in the world to use it on their kit.
A professional rugby league team from Keighley have included a Progress Flag on their playing kits for the 2021 season.
The Keighley Cougars are the first professional sports team in the world to do so.
The LGBTQ Flag includes the traditional rainbow - along with black and brown stripes to represent people of colour - and blue, pink and white to represent the trans community.
Keighley Cougars became only the second professional sports team in the world, after the Chicago Cubs baseball franchise, to have an openly gay owner in 2019 - when Ryan O’Neill and husband Kaue Garcia took over the club.
The club then committed to inclusivity and equality for all when they hosted a Pride Game against the West Wales Raiders in July 2019 at Cougar Park, which was also a first for professional sport.
In a statement, the club said: "Keighley Cougars are committed to inclusivity and equality for all people and will continue to hold inclusive events."
