Timeless Thrills and Sacred Lookbook for the reversible practice jersey was shot by Phoenix Kanada and modeled by Derek Hironaka.
You'll never stop practicing the game. A timeless pursuit. Which is why Sacred and Timeless Thrills have collaborated on a reversible practice jersey. The design is simple and constructed with attention to the receptive and reactive, the essence of a community of practice. Our reversible jersey is made of 100% polyester mesh. It is moisture wicking, odor resistant and has stain release components. The jersey was produced in Sacramento, CA, screen printed with white ink on the Timeless Thrills side and black ink on the Sacred Hoops side. The dark and light are opposing forces which become a driving force for change and creativity. Practice keeps the game evolving.
The jersey will see official release on Saturday October 23, 2021 in Sacramento at the Timeless Thrills Store on J Street. It will be available for global online orders on the Sacred webstore starting Monday October 25, 2021.
