The CBA discussions are still ongoing, with the teams awaiting further activities, including the expansion draft, free agency signings, and the draft. The Toronto Tempo started their team-building appointing Sandy Brondello as their first head coach.
Now, ahead of the expansion draft, the team unveiled its jersey in two versions: the WNBA Nike Heroine Edition in white and the WNBA Nike Explorer Edition in Tempo Bordeaux.
Toronto Tempo Unveils Jersey For Upcoming Season
The Tempo’s first jersey features the team’s signature colors — Borealis Blue and Tempo Bordeaux. Six speed lines are running down each side of the uniforms, which are also featured in the franchise’s primary logo. The six lines represent the six boroughs that make up Toronto.
These strips get extra thoughts, particularly in the placement of the stripes and the variation in thickness. According to the update, it mirrors the heartbeat, shifts in pace, and rhythm of both the city and the game.
Worth the wait.

Every detail of these uniforms is intentional. From the [color] story to the speed lines, we’ve created a design that brings our brand to life and represents our city, our fans, and our team. We cannot wait for our players — and our fans — to wear them with pride.”

Signing a two-time WNBA Champion coach was Toronto Tempo’s major highlight before debuting in the WNBA. Sandy Brondello will hand the side an edge in free agency, attracting proven talent. Now, the veteran coach has already planned for the long-term ‘sustainability of the franchise’ and explained her plan to the press.
“I’m a firm believer that the more connected you are off the court, that’s going to help on it because you can overcome adversity. We’ll invest time into doing that. But it’s not my culture. It’s their player-led culture,” Brondello said in her introductory press conference.
