When the leaves fall, legends rise.Fall basketball hits different. The air gets crisper. The lights feel brighter against darker skies. The competition gets deadlier.

Enter Slasher Season—our first themed season that slices together basketball culture and film culture.

Six iconic uniforms inspired by the masters of suspense. Scream. Halloween. Nightmare on Elm Street. Friday the 13th. Child’s Play. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Not costumes. Not gimmicks. Threads stitched together with narrative and themes that our athletes understand that every comeback requires a little madness.

“Slasher Season” works on two levels. In basketball, it’s the player who attacks relentlessly, who refuses to be stopped, who finds a way through every defence. In cinema, it’s the unstoppable force that defines an entire genre. We merged both.Each jersey pulls from the iconography that made these films cultural touchstones. Freddy’s fire-striped fury. Michael’s calculated menace. Jason’s relentless pursuit. Chucky’s playful chaos. Leatherface’s raw power. Ghostface’s psychological warfare.These aren’t references for reference’s sake. They’re design language that speaks to what it means to compete when everyone counts you out. To show up when others stay home. To be the antihero of your own story.

Our athletes embody this. Horror films and adult basketball share the same DNA—both celebrate the ones who refuse to stay down. The veteran who shouldn’t still be dominant but is. The underdog team that shouldn’t win but does. The player who comes back from injury, from doubt, from everyone writing them off.Every slasher film is about survival against impossible odds. Every Brodie season is about the same thing. We’re giving our athletes permission to embrace their edge, their darkness, their refusal to go quietly.

Our “Slasher Season” big six designs are for players who know that sometimes you have to embrace the darkness to find your light. Every game feels like a thriller. Every possession carries weight. Every season is an origin story. Every tip-off is the chance of making a movie.Because this is what happens when you stop treating adult basketball like recreation and start treating it like culture. When you understand that the court is a canvas and the uniform is a statement and the competition is theater.Our athletes don’t just want to play basketball. They want to be part of something that honours the full spectrum of who they are—athletes, competitors, aesthetes, stat geeks, culture vultures, creatives who express themselves through sport and through media.When the court gets darker, the competition gets deadlier. And every legend needs an origin story.

Welcome to Slasher Season. Wanna Play!?!
