PSA, the viral fleece jacket from Heated Rivalry is officially coming. That white Team Canada fleece worn by Shane Hollander, played by Hudson Williams, that everyone has been begging for since episode two at the Sochi Olympics? Yes, it’s finally coming to life, and fans can soon buy it.
Since the show’s November debut on HBO Max, the fleece has captured fan obsession. Its simple, gender-neutral design—a white fleece with red maple leaves and “Canada” in collegiate lettering—made it instantly iconic. Costume designer Hanna Puley says its charm is in the simplicity.
“There’s something actually about the simplicity of the design that makes it feel really accessible to pretty much anyone. It’s really gender-neutral. It’s not super fashion forward. It feels very cozy and wearable and just very Canadian,” she said.
Now, Toronto-based Province of Canada is officially producing it in collaboration with the show’s creators, Accent Aigu Entertainment. Earlier this week, the clothing brand released an official announcement, simple but enough to send fans into a frenzy.
“We’re releasing the fleece,” it posted.
Accent Aigu Entertainment said the collaboration is a celebration for both the show and its audience.
“We’ve listened closely to what they’ve been asking for, and the fleece jacket has been at the top of that list,” the executives said.
On its website, it also said that 10 percent of proceeds will go to a charity, with more details on price and release date expected soon.
Starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, Heated Rivalry is based on Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series and has quickly become a cultural phenomenon since its release.
