Overwatch League Store: When Are the x Staple Brands Live?
Merchandise from the Overwatch League went through two distinct phases. The first phase, created with Into the AM, featured products many fans found too expensive. Season 2 brought a collaboration with Fanatics, which in turn fell victim to shortcomings in build quality.
Blizzard revealed the Staples collaboration Jan. 15, followed the next day by images of the designs. The clothing eschews traditional jerseys in favor of baggier designs. Team names appear on the front, and player names will be added just above them.
Pre-orders for the pieces begins Tuesday, Jan. 28. Overwatch League players will begin wearing the new designs Feb. 8. Blizzard has yet to announce a shipping date for the new merchandise.
