October’s Very Own and Degrassi have officially launched the OVO x Degrassi: The Next Generation collection, marking the first collaborative capsule between the two Toronto institutions. Releasing ahead of the 25th anniversary of Degrassi: The Next Generation, the Made in Canada range reimagines the Degrassi Panthers’ iconic blue-and-gold uniforms as contemporary athletic apparel.
The collection is anchored by a premium fleece varsity jacket finished with layered twill patchwork, retro graphics, and custom co-branding. Honoring the legacy of the show’s early-2000s era, the lineup includes an archival recreation of Jimmy Brooks’ basketball jersey alongside a cotton Panthers football jersey featuring the number 86.
Expanding beyond traditional fan gear, the release incorporates a premium fleece sweatsuit, a vintage-style heritage crewneck, and gym wear staples modeled after classic phys-ed uniforms. The multi-piece range is rounded out by a multi-print tote bag and a structured sport cap.
The OVO x Degrassi collection drops on Friday, September 25, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET globally via OVO and at select OVO stores in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, Burnaby, and Los Angeles.
