Danish esports organization Astralis, in collaboration with its apparel partner hummel and Danish streetwear brand SAUNA, has unveiled an innovative new partnership.
This collaboration has culminated in a distinctive, limited-edition merchandise collection scheduled for release in June 2024. The exclusive line features a jacket, a cap, and a jersey, which will be available online and in select physical retail locations.
Spotlighting a jersey co-branded by hummel and SAUNA, the release showcases a striking deep wine-red color, accented by gold sponsor logos and prominently featuring the iconic Astralis star on the chest. The jersey also proudly displays the number 16 on the back, commemorating the year 2016, when Astralis was founded.
Consumers can also purchase a baseball cap and varsity jacket as a part of the collection.
