The Flamingo Edition

Every July, Las Vegas becomes the centre of the basketball universe as NBA franchises descend on the desert to audition the next generation. A collection of undrafted prospects looking for a lifeline, second-round picks trying to prove the doubters wrong, and two-way players one performance away from guaranteed money. Summer League is the proving ground. The court where athletes bet on themselves and GO ALL IN.

Brodie Summer lives in that energy and the Summer Big 6 collection translates it into a uniform collection that connects the basketball culture of Summer League to the iconic gaming heritage of vintage Las Vegas with a connective thread between the Strip and the teams that occupy Vegas each summer.

The Flamingo Edition is the fifth reveal.

The Inspiration

Every Big 6 edition is built on a connected thread: a landmark casino from the golden age of the Strip and the NBA franchise whose Summer League aesthetic echoes that property's visual DNA. The Flamingo Edition pulls inspiration from the sun-soaked confidence of Miami — a franchise built on Latin heat, South Beach style, and the understanding that how you show up is as important as what you do when you get there.

That palette maps directly onto the Flamingo Hotel, which opened in 1946 as Bugsy Siegel's conviction made physical. Siegel didn't build a casino. He built a statement — the first resort on the Strip to fuse luxury hospitality with the casino floor, and the property that gave Las Vegas its identity before Las Vegas knew what its identity was. The Flamingo's pink became the first colour the Strip ever truly owned.

The Design

The hero of this jersey is the flamingo. Two large illustrative flamingo figures occupy the front panel, flanking the Brodie wordmark and number on either side — full, rendered birds in pink with teal accent detail, occupying significant real estate from chest to hip. This is not a logo or a trim motif. This is the main event of the design, placed front and centre with the confidence of a resort that put a 35-foot Sultan statue on its roof and dared you to look away.

The flamingo silhouettes continue onto the back side panels, framing the player name and number and carrying the illustration system across the full uniform. The jersey reads as a complete visual world, not a front panel with a plain back.

The neckline and armhole trim features a repeating patterned band in pink and teal blue — a tile-like detail that references the poolside mosaic work of the Flamingo's original resort design and gives the collar and arm openings a distinct, finished quality that separates this uniform from anything else on the floor.

The front carries the Brodie wordmark in pink script. The number sits centred below in matching pink. The back mirrors the construction with FLAMINGO arched across the shoulders and the number below. A Brodie script signature marks the lower back hem. Co-branding badge at the chest.

The Details

Each of the Big 6 editions carries its own tail tag mantra: a custom motivation paired with original artwork that pays homage to the Strip and the passionate players who put it all on the line for the game. The Flamingo Edition tells its athlete exactly who they are the moment they put it on: always lit.

Every detail is custom. Custom patterns, templates, from digital design to fabrication and finishings. This is not a blank pulled from a digital catalogue. This is a uniform designed from concept to finished product with the same conviction our athletes have to our league and brand.

Flip the Switch

For the first time in Brodie history, every squad gets the opportunity to Go All In with a home and away jersey. That is a franchise-level offering. Professional teams have home and away. College programs have home and away. Now Brodie athletes do too. The call to action for entire squads is "Flip The Switch."

The Big 6 collection brings this to life through a creative system of litemode and darkmode.

Litemode is the home design. A clean white ground with the flamingo illustrations rendered in pink against the open field. The teal and pink trim band runs the neckline and armholes. The Brodie script and numbers hit in pink. This is South Beach at noon — bright, open, the colour doing its most confident work in full light. The birds are impossible to miss. That's the point.

Darkmode is the away design. The same flamingo illustrations, the same trim band, the same typographic system — but the ground drops to black. On black, the pink doesn't sit. It glows. The teal sharpens. The whole uniform shifts from confidence into something more electric, the way the Flamingo sign looked different at midnight than it did at midday — the same colours, a completely different energy.

Home court, you are the headliner — white ground, pink birds, impossible to look away from. Away, you are the neon — black ground, the pink burning against the dark, the kind of presence that fills the room before you say a word. Two jerseys. One squad. The switch is yours to flip.

The Commitment

The Big 6 collection exists because we refused to accept the standard this industry set. Other leagues offer off-the-shelf blanks with a screen-printed logo and call it a uniform. We chose a different path — one that demands more time, more craft, and more conviction, but delivers something an athlete has never held in their hands from a recreational league.

The Flamingo Edition carries the energy of the property that started everything. Siegel didn't build a casino. He built the belief that Las Vegas could be something the world had never seen. Every athlete who pulls on this jersey carries that same conviction — that where you show up matters, that how you look when you get there is part of the performance, and that the standard you set for yourself is the only one worth chasing.

This is where athletes bet on themselves. Where every player goes all-in on their number. The Flamingo Edition is the next card on the table.

Always Lit.
