Weekend Wear: Here’s How to Support Your Team Without Looking Totally Obnoxious

It’s a big day for the 6. Drake just dropped Views and the Raptors are heading into a crucial Game 6 in Indiana. A jersey or concert tee are obvious ways to show your support, but we prefer a more understated approach — pieces with small logos and team colours are an easy and stylish way to rep Drizzy and Canada’s only NBA team without rubbing it in everyone’s faces.

1. Wooyoungmi Grosgrain-Trimmed Textured-Shell Bomber Jacket, $1,140 at Mr. Porter

If you want to see street style done right, you need to go to Seoul and take notes. One of the best Korean exports going is Wooyoungmi, and this bomber is a perfect example of why the brand has found international success — a familiar, classic bomber jacket made even more militant but also subverted by the use of grosgrain trim.

2. OVO Owl Logo Patch Tee, $60

Drake has turned OVO into an all-encompassing brand, and the merch is a bit part of that. This T-shirt is easy to wear but still eye-catching thanks to the Raptors-red colour and will leave no doubts about what team you’re rooting for.

3. G-Star Elwood x Marc Newson 5260 Denim, $260

Light-washed denim feels like a breath of fresh air for spring, and leave it to industrial designer Marc Newson to grab onto this trend and create the perfect pair. His collaborations with G-Star just keep getting better and better, and these jeans are no exception thanks to moto details and white accents on the pockets and cuffs.

4. Instance NBA Collection Logo Toronto Raptors Socks, $20 at GetOutside

Socks have become a new medium of expression for the modern sports fan. The Raptors logo sits high enough that it will be hard for people to see it, but you’ll know it’s there, and that’s all that matters.

5. Vans Premium Leather SK8 Hi Reissue Shows, $80

2016 marks Vans 50th anniversary, so celebrate the skate brand while upping your style cred by picking up this reissue of their classic Sk8-Hi sneakers. This version is done up in black leather for a grown-up version of your favourite skate shoes.

6. Christian Paul The Strand Grid Stainless Steel Analog Watch, $215 at Hudson’s Bay

The Aussie invasion is coming, and Christian Paul is leading the charge. His unisex watches are clean and simple, focusing on pared down faces with one design element — in this case, it’s the bold, graphic grid.
