Overwatch League™, Jeff Staple collaborate to create first-of-its-kind esports kit

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 17 -- The Overwatch League™ recently announced a first-of-its-kind collaboration with designer and streetwear powerhouse, Jeff Staple, to reimagine, design and create an authentic player kit for esports.

It is designed in concert with Overwatch League player feedback for a look and feel that’s unique to both traditional sports and esports.

The new kits feature elevated fabrics, premium graphic applications, new side gussets for adjustable comfort and a fit that is cut and sewn to increase quality and wearability while gaming.

According to a statement, each of the 20 Overwatch League teams will have its own unique home and away kits during the 2020 season, which launches on Feb 8.

Staple worked with Overwatch League players throughout the design process to ensure the kits are a comfortable, functional uniform for competition, while also maintaining Staple’s signature aesthetic.

The new kits utilise elevated pin-dot mesh fabric to create lightweight and breathable jerseys to balance and regulate players’ temperature for maximum comfort.

The full kit will include a short-sleeve jersey, long-sleeve jersey, jacket, compression sleeve, hat and beanie for each of the league’s 20 teams.
