S.A.S.S Indigenous Jersey

More Than a Jersey. A Legacy.

Every thread tells a story. Every symbol carries meaning. Every jersey has a heartbeat.

Designed with Indigenous artists, the S.A.S.S jersey stands for growth, movement, and unity. It’s a tribute to community, culture, and pride — worn with honour.

At S.A.S.S we don’t just train athletes — we honour legacy and empower leaders.
