When Justin Bieber designed alternate jerseys for the Toronto Maple Leafs

In an exciting announcement made on March 2022, it was revealed that the Toronto Maple Leafs would be donning a unique alternate jersey designed by none other than Canadian pop star Justin Bieber.

This special jersey, created for the Maple Leafs’ annual youth-oriented Next Gen game, is the product of a collaboration between Bieber, his fashion brand Drew House, and Adidas.

Expressing his deep-rooted connection to the Maple Leafs, Bieber stated in a news release,

“My love for the Maple Leafs has always been a big part of who I am, and my pᴀssion for the team, and the pᴀssion of millions of fans, is sтιтched into this Next Gen sweater.”

Bieber’s enthusiasm for the project shines through, as he expressed graтιтude to the Leafs for the opportunity to create something authentic for both the team and its fans.

What made the jersey special was its revolutionary design. The NHL proudly announced that it is the first reversible jersey in North American professional sports.

The captivating black-and-blue color combination captures attention, with the Leafs crest prominently featured on one side. On the reverse side, one can find the Drew House motif nestled within the Maple Leafs’ logo in a vibrant shade of yellow.

Fans and players alike got the chance to witness the unveiling of the special jersey in the game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and New Jersey Devils last year. The team proudly sported the black-and-blue side of the jersey during the game.
