Toronto Raptors Gift Drake $1 Million Custom Jacket

ā€” Updated on 14 June 2021

Few celebrity basketball supporters are as outspoken and animated on the sidelines as Drake. Throughout the final series, the 6 God has been a constant presence at Toronto Raptors home games, making himself known on the sidelines, and, if I’m honest, being an all-around pain in the ass. All of this support has been well received by the team, however, who’ve gifted Drake an AU$1 million custom jacket for his exuberant support.

The one of a kind jacket was given to Drake before the Raptors smashed the Milwaukee Bucks 120-102 in the fourth game of the Eastern Conference finals last week, levelling the series 2-2 (they’ve since gone on to win the series and will face the Golden State Warriors in the final).

Designed by Garrison Bespoke owner Michael Nguyen, the custom kit is made from a City Edition Raptors jersey that’s been turned into a winter jacket. The fabric used comes from a vintage jersey nearly 100 years old and imported from Europe. The jacket also contains 235 diamonds hand-sewn onto the fabric to create the famous owl logo of Drake’s OVO brand and the Raptor’s basketball emblem. 

Nguyen spent a year-and-a-half creating the jacket and is extremely happy with the result, telling CTV News, “This one is over the top. Itā€™s the best one Iā€™ve ever done. Maybe the best Iā€™ll ever make.”
