The Brampton Honey Badgers of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) announced Monday that Xeist has agreed to join the Honey Badgers as their official partner of travel apparel. 


Xeist will provide the Honey Badgers with custom travel apparel to rep when travelling on the road. Brampton plays 12 away games per season, and Xeist is helping to ensure that the team is moving in comfort and style whether they are across town in Scarborough, or on the west coast in Vancouver. 


"Partnering with the Brampton Honey Badgers isn’t just about outfitting a team—it’s about joining forces to elevate Canadian sport,” said Xeist Co-Founder Justin Avery-Gomes. “At Xeist, we create apparel that empowers athletes to push limits, own their game, and pursue their highest potential. As Canada’s sportswear brand, we're thrilled to be part of their journey to redefine what’s possible."


Xeist is an apparel company that specializes in sportswear, specifically in team uniforms, tracksuits, backpacks, and much more. They have outfitted more than 5000 teams and 400 000 athletes throughout North America, keeping them looking sharp both on and off the field.


One of their slogans, “this is the moment to Xeist”, emphasizes the importance of rising above what you already know. Not to just play, but to excel. 


“We’re excited to welcome Xeist as our official travel apparel partner,” said Honey Badgers President Josie Pingitore. “Their innovative and high-performance clothing ensures our team stays comfortable, stylish, and ready—no matter where our journey takes us. Partnering with a brand that shares our commitment to excellence and functionality is a natural fit, and we’re proud to represent Xeist on the road.”


With the 2025 season underway, Honey Badgers fans can get excited for what is in store for the third season of professional basketball at the CAA Centre. Honey Badgers season tickets and other ticket packages are available now at
