Celebrating Two Decades of Fierce Determination
In the heart of Detroit, where resilience and creativity thrive, Rebel Nell and Detroit Roller Derby are teaming up to mark an incredible milestone—the Derby’s 20th anniversary. This powerful collaboration celebrates the grit, determination, and unyielding community spirit of Detroit Roller Derby, transforming their journey into wearable art.
We’re beyond excited to unveil our limited-edition jewelry collection, crafted from upcycled roller derby jerseys. Each piece is a celebration of the vibrant colors, bold textures, and rich history of this iconic league. Just like the athletes who wear the jerseys, no two pieces are the same—each tells a unique story of perseverance and passion.
Jewelry with a Mission
For us at Rebel Nell, this collaboration is personal. Detroit Roller Derby embodies the values we hold dear: strength, inclusivity, and empowering women to break barriers. “Their strength, inclusivity, and unrelenting determination are deeply inspiring,” shares Rebel Nell Founder and CEO Amy Peterson. “We’re honored to support an organization that uplifts women both on and off the track.”
This collection goes beyond celebrating an anniversary. Proceeds will support Rebel Nell’s mission to provide employment, education, and empowerment for women overcoming barriers. At the same time, we’re contributing to Detroit Roller Derby’s legacy of fostering inclusivity and growth within the roller derby community.
A Legacy in Every Piece
“Detroit Roller Derby has always been about more than just the sport,” says Lemonhead (Sidney Leming), President of Detroit Roller Derby. “We believe in empowering athletes and creating a strong, supportive community both on and off the track. This collaboration with Rebel Nell perfectly celebrates our 20-year journey.”
Whether you’re a fan, an athlete, or someone who believes in the power of women’s sports, this collection is your chance to carry a piece of Detroit Roller Derby’s legacy while championing meaningful change. Each necklace or bracelet is a testament to what happens when passion and purpose collide.
