Emerging creators and small apparel brands in Vancouver are about to get a serious holiday boost. Basico Branco, the premium essentials brand that recently collaborated with the Vancouver Canucks, Calgary Flames, and Nashville Predators, has launched its biggest giveaway event yet.
The “12 Days of Giveaways” campaign kicks off December 13 and runs straight through Christmas Eve, with huge prizes dropping daily. For up-and-coming merch brands, the grand prizes could literally jump-start their next collection.
A Giveaway Designed for the Creators Behind the Merch
Most holiday giveaways focus on consumers. Basico Branco decided to flip that script.
This year, the company is giving emerging apparel brands a chance to win their entire first order of premium blanks—an expense that often slows or limits new merch launches. Their blanks are the same high-quality hoodies, tees, and sweats used in recent NHL collaborations, which makes the value even bigger.
Four major brand-focused grand prizes anchor the campaign:
- 50 Long Sleeve Tees
- 50 Crewneck Sweatshirts
- 50 Hoodies
- 50 Tracksuits (hoodie + sweats)
Each prize is large enough to fund an entire product drop, helping new or growing brands build momentum without the upfront cost.
Why This Matters for Local Designers and Merch Start-Ups
Vancouver has a growing community of independent apparel brands, creators, and micro-labels, many of whom operate on tight budgets. Quality blanks are one of the biggest expenses for new drops, especially if you’re trying to compete with established brands.
Basico Branco offering 50+ units of high-quality blanks as a prize is more than generous, it’s strategic. It gives creators access to the same premium pieces chosen by major sports teams for official merch collabs.
For a new brand, that kind of quality can shape perception, boost product value, and help them scale faster.

-

A Big Holiday Moment for a Brand on the Rise
Basico Branco has had a standout year. Their collabs with the Canucks, Flames, and Predators pushed the brand into the national spotlight, reinforcing their reputation for quality fabrics, consistent fits, and elevated everyday essentials.
The 12 Days of Giveaways doubles as a celebration of that growth and a thank-you to the creator community that has fuelled their rise.
If you’re planning a merch drop in 2025, this might be the most valuable contest you enter all year.
