"We knew we wanted something that was really classic and that could live on for a long amount of time,"
"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."
"It's 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,"
"And then from the time we designed them to when we saw the first physical samples was like half a year, so you almost forget. Then it's like a pleasant surprise when you get to see them again."
Toronto Tempo unveiled debut home and away uniforms, featuring a white Heroine home jersey and an away jersey in Tempo Bordeaux, a red shade with purple undertones. The lettering is outlined in Borealis Blue and the design draws on classic basketball uniform styles. The franchise was awarded in May 2024 and the Tempo name, logo and colour scheme were announced in December 2024. Uniform designs were completed in November 2024, but mass production delayed public availability for months. Nike supplies WNBA teams with Heroine (home), Explorer (away) and Rebel (alternate) styles; Toronto's Explorer will be sold starting in January. Both Toronto Heroine and Explorer include six speedlines representing the city's six boroughs and the fans as the sixth player.
