LaMelo Ball's LaFrance fashion brand becomes official partner of TNA Wrestling

LaMelo Ball's first season with the Timberwolves is almost here. Off the court, he's also staying busy.

Ball first launched a lifestyle fashion brand named LaFrance in 2020, partnering with Puma in the past on sneakers. Now, Ball is dabbling in the wrestling world.

TNA Wrestling announced a new partnership with Ball's fashion brand on Sunday, nearly a decade after the point guard made a professional wrestling appearance alongside his father and brother.

Here's what's known about Ball's fashion brand partnering with TNA Wrestling.

On Sunday, TNA Wrestling announced a partnership with Ball's brand, LaFrance. Per Fightful, during TNA Wrestling’s 2026 Bound For Glory pay-per-view, commentator Tom Hannifan revealed that TNA will be partnering with the LaFrance lifestyle fashion brand.

As part of the deal, TNA referees will be wearing shirts with the LaFrance logo on them.

Rather than black-and-white stripes, referees could be seen in blue shirts with white "LaFrance" lettering:

Off the court, Ball has briefly been in the world of wrestling before. In 2017, he appeared on WWE Monday Night Raw alongside his father, LaVar, and his brother, Lonzo.

Here's another look at the new LaFrance shirts for TNA Wrestling referees:
