Champion Nz Breakers Indigenous Shorts

The NZ Breakers NBL Indigenous Shorts – 2024/25!

Have the New Zealand Breakers story on full display with the Indigenous Shorts for the 2024/25 NBL season. It features indigenous artwork representing the team and their story incorporated with the team wordmark on our premium, sports mesh fabric.

The Indigenous NZ Breakers uniform is designed using the powerful theme of Kowhaiwhai—the intricate, traditional Maori patterns used to tell stories.

Inspired by sacred symbols found in our meeting houses, representing Whakapapa, these patterns remind us of our deep connection to our ancestors, tracing our lineage back to the very moment of creation. It speaks to something universal, that we are all a part of a larger creation, bound by a history that shapes who we are. No matter where someone comes from, if they take the time to understand this connection, they too can find themselves woven into the fabric of our story.

Using the vibrant, iridescent colours of the Paua shellfish to symbolize our connection to the sea, these colours combine with the themes of speed agility and tenacious spirit to echo the strength of our Pacific identity.

New Zealand features a diverse culture, and this Breakers kit connects our indigenous heritage with cultures from around the world. Through this uniform, the NZ Breakers wanted a design that was modern, inclusive, and reflective of New Zealand’s diverse population.
