Global Esports Teams Up With Santanu Hazarika for the Design of Its Valorant Championship Tour Jersey; Here Are the Details

It is always exciting to see two different worlds collide and bring us something fresh. We know how important art has been for gaming, but now we get to see how art mixes with esports. Global Esports has just announced a collaboration that blends esports and art. They are partnering with Santanu Hazarika to create a “one-of-a-kind jersey” for their Valorant Championship tour. Check out how the jersey looks and more below.

Santanu Hazarika is a multidisciplinary visual artist and has been awarded the Redbull World Doodle Art Champion. To design this jersey, Santanu took inspiration from “the ‘GE Lion’ depicted in Global Esports’ VCT Player Card”. This lion was then transformed into a visceral, sublime and surreal form of clothing piece that includes the three GE colours. The jersey also represents “the team reinventing their gameplay as well as their ethos, vision and victory.”

Through this collaboration, Global Esports wishes to “break the norms and reinvent the idea of how an esports jersey should look” along with showcasing Santanu’s skill in adding a style to GE’s VCT jersey. GE added that this jersey will serve as a testimony to GE’s commitment to pushing the envelope across diverse aspects of gaming and building an enduring esports legacy on the world stage”. Fans and interested readers can purchase it from this website for the price of INR 1,299.

Here’s what Santanu Hazarika had to say about the collaboration:

“I have always been inspired by gaming as an artist since I was a child. And I am a gamer myself! I instantly connected with the GE team as we both have a common ground when it comes to pop culture and gaming. They enabled me to explore a whole new world of how big esports is, which helped me incorporate elements of gaming, fashion and art together for a jersey different from anything else the esports world has ever seen.”

Check out what Rushindra Sinha, CEO and Founder of Global Esports shared on the occasion:

“Our jersey design has been based on our brand colours for the last decade. Generally, jerseys are looked at from the perspective of it being a uniform, and no one has thought about disrupting it. However, we wanted to do something different. We wanted it to be a work of art while also looking at adding an element of fashion. That’s where Santanu stepped in to add his unique layer of art.”
