Fans of the queer hockey romance hit Heated Rivalry, rejoice: The much-coveted viral Team Canada fleece donned by the Shane Hollander can soon be yours to wear, too.
Canadian clothing brand (and Team Chats favourite) Province of Canada is joining forces with the Heated Rivalry crew to recreate and sell Hollander’s white-and-red fleece jacket from episode 2—one of the broody hockey star’s most iconic looks from the show. Since the show’s meteoric rise late last year, fans have asked for merch of the fleece, part of the Team Canada Olympic uniform Hollander wears in Sochi in 2014 that was brought to life by Heated Rivalry costume designer Hanna Puley.
“We’ve listened closely to what [fans] have been asking for, and the fleece jacket has been at the top of that list,” said show creator Jacob Tierney in a press release. “We’re so excited to partner with Province of Canada. As a Canadian-based, independent apparel brand that does amazing work sourcing and manufacturing high-quality clothing, we share a common ethos. We look forward to bringing it to life with the creativity and care fans expect.”
Ten percent of proceeds from the fleece sales will also be donated to a charitable organization yet to be determined.
The release date and price of the fleece have yet to be announced, but Heated Rivalry fans can sign up for updates at provinceofcanada.com/heatedrivalry.
Until then, we’ll see you at the cottage.
