<\/p>\n\u201cIt\u2019s tough to hold on to it for over a year, we see all the time that jerseys get leaked and people seem to know them, so that was a bit daunting,\u201d said Bell. \u201cAnd then from the time we designed them to when we saw the first physical samples was like half a year, so you almost forget.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThen it\u2019s like a pleasant surprise when you get to see them again.\u201d<\/p>\n
WNBA teams have three uniforms designed by Nike: the Heroine (home), Explorer (away) and Rebel (alternate). Toronto\u2019s Explorer jersey will be available for fans to purchase beginning in January. <\/p>\n
The WNBA doesn\u2019t sell its Heroine jerseys, and the Rebel design hasn\u2019t been revealed yet.<\/p>\n
Both Toronto\u2019s Heroine and Explorer jerseys have six speedlines down the sides of the jersey. That detail represents city\u2019s six boroughs and the five players on the court supported by the sixth player in the game: the fans.<\/p>\n
\u201c(The speed lines were) are something that I think sets us apart. It\u2019s really unique about our team,\u201d said Bell. \u201cIt speaks to the word Tempo itself as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cSpecifically on the Explorer, it\u2019s on both of them, but I think having those bright blue lines on top of the Tempo Bordeaux is really beautiful, and just the change in the width and the flow of them speaks to that dynamic nature of our name and the game itself.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tempo will make their WNBA debut in 2026 and play most of their home games at Coca-Cola Coliseum at Toronto\u2019s Exhibition Place. The team has also committed to playing two regular-season home games in Vancouver and two in Montreal.<\/p>\n
