Dylan Frazier and Dekel Bar turned heads in March at the Black Desert Resort Utah Open when they wore matching T-shirts that said “The Big D’s.” Their playful look was a big hit among pickleball fans, and the idea has now grown into a successful merch line, especially after their latest appearance at the 2025 Veolia Atlanta Pickleball Championships.
Frazier and Bar aren’t trying to replace Anna Bright and Rachel Rohrabacher—known as “The Girlies”—but their fun shirts and growing popularity have made people wonder if they might be the next big thing in pickleball fashion.
A New Merchandise Trend Begins
When Dylan Frazier and Dekel Bar showed up in their “Big D’s” shirts in March, they weren’t considering launching a brand. It was a last-minute idea meant to grab attention on gender doubles day. But the fans loved it.
The phrase made headlines, and soon enough, it became a real thing. The design was funny and lighthearted, which fits perfectly with the fun vibe of pickleball. Fans responded with laughs and support.
Before Frazier and Bar, it was Anna Bright and Rachel Rohrabacher who led the way in pickleball merchandise. Their nickname, “The Girlies,” became so popular that their branded items sold out online very quickly.
Even other players joined the fun. Danny Jensen, Wes Burrows, Sam Querrey, and Rafa Hewett wore “The Daddies” sweatshirts, clearly inspired by Bright and Rohrabacher.

Bigger, Bolder, and on Sale
At the 2025 Veolia Atlanta Pickleball Championships in May, Dylan Frazier and Dekel Bar reunited and stepped up their merch game. They wore updated “Big D’s” shirts that now include both of their pictures and a new font. This made it easier for fans to recognize who the shirts were about.
Even better, fans at the event could buy the shirts in person. Pickleball Central sold them at the event site, and lucky fans also got their shirts signed by Frazier and Bar. Many also got photos with the duo.

Their funny attitude and calm style on court make the merch even more fun for fans. It wasn’t something they planned in detail—but the fans clearly enjoy it.

The Girlies were the first team to create a merch trend in pro pickleball. Their style was clean and cute, and it inspired others to try their own ideas. Even though Anna Bright and Rachel Rohrabacher have now gone separate ways, their influence is still being felt.
