D Rose Apparel Collection– Men’s Basketball

This season, adidas and Derrick Rose will launch the D Rose signature collection. adidas worked side-by-side with Rose on the collection’s material, texture and color so it represents his understated and iconic style for on and off the court. The collection features hoodies, fleece jacket/pant, tees, shorts, hats and socks.

LOGO:

The new D Rose logo features three petals that revolve around the letter “D” and number “1” in the center. The personal meaning of the logo is twofold. Like the flower, each petal is unique to represent his fast, creative drives to the basket, which he honed with physical play on the courts of Murray Park in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago. The logo also pays homage to his family – with mother Brenda in the center of the Rose and his three brothers Reggie, Allan and Dwayne as the petals – who guided him from that neighborhood to NBA superstardom.
