The Blackwing 11 is Blackwing’s tribute to Bill Russell and his undeniable legacy. The number 11 foil stamped on each pencil represents the number of championships he won, more than any player in NBA history. The design features a green and black color way with his iconic #6 wrapped around the barrel along with a black ferrule, green eraser, and the soft graphite core found in the Blackwing Matte line.

Bill Russell won eleven championships in thirteen seasons as the heart of the greatest dynasty in basketball history. He was a dynamic champion on the court whose impact forever changed the game. Off the court, his presence was even more impactful as he endeavored to fight for equality and social justice.

Pencils are sold in a set of 12.
