The Toronto Tempo uniform designs were just unveiled
And fans will be able to buy their own in January
Every bit of Toronto Tempo news we hear makes us even more excited for the team to begin its inaugural WNBA season.
Head coach Sandy Brondello is excited too, which we’ve gleaned from the fact that she turned down two other offers, opting to lead Toronto to what we know will be many championships. As of today, we no longer have to imagine how those victories will look thanks to the long-awaited release of the Tempos’ uniform designs.
As reported by the Canadian Press, the home jersey design will be white and the away jersey design is Tempo Bordeaux—a shade of red with purple undertones. The jerseys will also feature the team’s other signature colour, Borealis Blue.
“We knew we wanted something that was really classic and that could live on for a long amount of time,” Tempo chief marketing officer Whitney Bell told CP. “So with the colours and the design, we wanted to feel modern, bold, but also something that people would really enjoy wearing every day as a fashion statement.”
The uniforms, designed by Nike, have been in production since November of 2024 and kept secret until today’s announcement. Fans will be able to purchase the away game-style as of January.
And suddenly Tempo Bordeaux and Borealis Blue are our new favourite colours.
