Blackwing Volume 11 - Bill Russell Tribute - Set of 12 - Limited Edition

The Blackwing Volume 11 is a limited-edition tribute to Bill Russell and his enduring legacy on and off the court. Each pencil is foil-stamped with the number 11, honoring his record-setting 11 NBA championships—the most by any player. Designed in a striking green and black colorway, it features his iconic #6 wrapped around the barrel, complemented by a black ferrule, green eraser, and our signature soft graphite core for a smooth writing experience.

Bill Russell, the cornerstone of basketball’s greatest dynasty, won 11 championships in 13 seasons, redefining the game with his defensive brilliance and selfless play. His ability to turn shot-blocking into a strategic weapon revolutionized the sport, proving that teamwork and intellect were just as vital as raw talent. Beyond basketball, Russell was a fearless advocate for social justice, standing alongside civil rights leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Muhammad Ali, cementing his legacy as a champion both on and off the court.
