Cultural references English Rugby league team Wigan Warriors had Norweb as their primary shirt sponsor between 1988 and 1999 (as TXU Energi between 1998 and 1999). This period saw Wigan win many trophies (including 7 of their 8 record consecutive Challenge Cup Final wins), (7 successive League titles between 1990 and 1996), (5 John Player Special/Regal Trophy wins between 1989 and 1996 out of 6 final appearances), (5 Premiership wins between 1992 and 1997 out of 6 final appearances), (2 Lancashire Cups in 1988 and 1992), (2 World Club Championships in 1991 and 1994 out of 3 appearances), (2 7s Tournaments World 7s in 1992 and Middlesex 7s in 1996), (2 Charity Shields in 1991 and 1995 out of 6 appearances), (The League Leaders Shield and Super League title in 1998 these 2 would be the last trophies that Wigan would win in the Norweb era) before the sponsorship ended in 1999, with the Norweb brand gaining regular exposure on televised Rugby League due to Wigan's success over this time.
