KICKZ - Respect The Heritage Collection
RESPECT THE HERITAGE - A TRIBUTE TO BASKETBALL CULTURE
KICKZ has always been first and foremost about the game. Therefore, the love and respect we have for basketball and its multi-facetted culture shines through in every piece of this collection.
On the occasion of our 30-year anniversary we proudly show off our basketball heritage with 16 distinct pieces. T-shirts, longsleeves, hoodies, crewnecks, zip-hoodies and shorts for you to choose from. All made in Portugal from the finest materials.
We are KICKZ. #NEVERNOTBALLIN
FUNCTIONAL COLOR PALETTE
Keeping it simple and true to our heritage, the base colors in use for this collection are black, white and heather grey. Signature color is „gold flame" paying tribute to the color of the ball. This color is also easily recognizable and in combination with the aforementioned base colors especially striking.
In-colors "pine groove" and "peacoat" are typical collegiate tones that are classic and timeless, adding more variety.
KICKZ BASKETBALL
Branding of KICKZ’ own brand is always using the cuneiform logo to give it a distinctive stand-alone look. Even from a distance this combination of typeface and logo is easily recognizable.
The tilted "basketball" lettering is a homage to the 2000s and provides a sportive flair as well as clear branding.
ICONOGRAPHY
Used as a rubber patch, the K taken out of the cuneiform logo will be used to identify pieces of KICKZ’ own brand. The "burnt orange" color background with black and white outlines will be in stark contrast to our dark base colors serving as an immediate eyecatcher. The K’s thickness is exactly the same as the outlines for added symmetry and balance.
"From 93 ’til infinity" has always been our claim. The 93 icon is the perfect fusion of our founding year and a basketball icon and stands for KICKZ and basketball. Unmistakably ours and showing off our love for the game at the same time.
The K Icon and 93 icon are complemented by the Infinity icon. In combination, all three icons are depicting the identity of our own brand. With K for KICKZ as the base, followed by 93 and infinity.
NNB
At the same time, we are introducing NNB which stands for Never Not Ballin’. NNB font is tilted like our „basketball" font for an added sportive look and homage to the 2000s.
COLLEGE BALL
Often overlooked but not forgotten. College basketball is one of the most attractive forms of basketball and one of the purest. These players give it their all for guts and glory.
To pay homage to basketball’s rich college culture, this design merges classic college typeface and the distinctive look of the KICKZ cuneiform logo.
FROM KICKZ WITH LOVE
Establishing a new ongoing series that will be extended with every collection, "From KICKZ with Love" is introducing the most recognizable basketball courts in the world.
We are starting off with New York, the Mecca of streetball as a tribute to our roots as a streetball brand and the hot spot of basketball culture.
Every piece of this series will carry printed "From KICKZ with Love" and "Courts of New York" lettering.
FOR ALL BALLERS
KICKZ is basketball and basketball means buckets. This motif is as clean and straight to the point as possible. As a large backprint it shows off the white embroidered net, while the ring and background are printed.
It’s a statement piece that sends a clear message and lets the world know you’re a baller.
