OVO and Degrassi Launch 'Made in Canada' Collection

October's Very Own (OVO) and Degrassi have officially launched a collaborative capsule collection, titled OVO x Degrassi: The Next Generation. This partnership marks the first joint venture between the two Toronto-based entities, celebrating their shared origins in the Canadian city. The collection is designed as a 'Made in Canada' athletic range, reimagining iconic uniforms from the popular teen drama series into contemporary apparel.

The OVO x Degrassi collection is set to release on Friday, September 25, 2026, ahead of the 25th anniversary of Degrassi: The Next Generation, which originally premiered in October 2001. The range draws inspiration from the fictional Degrassi Panthers' blue-and-gold athletic wear. A key piece in the collection is a premium fleece varsity jacket, detailed with layered twill patchwork, retro graphics, and custom co-branding that signifies the collaboration between OVO and Degrassi. This jacket serves as a centerpiece, embodying the collection's blend of modern streetwear and nostalgic television references.

Further honoring the early 2000s era of the show, the collection includes an archival recreation of Jimmy Brooks' basketball jersey, a character famously portrayed by Drake in the series. Additionally, a cotton Panthers football jersey featuring the number 86 is part of the lineup, referencing a significant year within the Degrassi universe. Beyond these specific character and team recreations, the release expands into broader athletic wear. It features a premium fleece sweatsuit, a vintage-style heritage crewneck sweatshirt, and staple gym wear items that are modeled after classic physical education uniforms, offering a comprehensive athletic aesthetic.

The OVO x Degrassi collection is not limited to apparel; it also includes accessories designed to complement the athletic theme. A multi-print tote bag and a structured sport cap are part of the multi-piece range, providing fans with additional items to showcase their connection to both OVO and Degrassi. The collection will be available globally on September 25, 2026, at 10 a.m. ET through the OVO website and at select OVO retail stores. These physical locations include stores in Toronto, Calgary, and Vancouver in Canada, as well as in Burnaby and Los Angeles in the United States, making the collection accessible to a wide audience of fans and fashion enthusiasts.
