The Champion New Zealand Breakers 26/27 Alternate Shorts are basketball shorts designed for games, training and everyday supporters’ wear. Their 220GSM fabric combines moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance with increased airflow to help manage comfort during active use.
Moisture-wicking technology moves perspiration away from the body, while the quick-drying construction helps prevent the fabric from remaining damp. Increased airflow supports breathability through repeated running, jumping and changes of direction on court.
Champion also states that the fabric helps prevent odours, adding a practical benefit for basketball training and regular wear. The 220GSM construction gives the shorts a substantial feel suited to both playing and representing the Breakers away from the court.
Sublimated NBL and Optus logos are integrated into the fabric for a clean finish. A New Zealand Breakers woven club badge at the waistband completes the authentic team look.
Who are the New Zealand Breakers Alternate Shorts best for?
The New Zealand Breakers 26/27 Alternate Shorts are best for supporters wanting the team’s alternate basketball design for games, training or casual wear. Their breathable, moisture-wicking construction is particularly useful for active on-court use.
