Team Liquid has revealed a new jersey in celebration of the esports organisation’s 25th anniversary.
The jersey, which was announced on Team Liquid’s social media, was revealed alongside a short video and the caption: “25 Years of Esports History. 25 Years of Scaling.”
Its design is minimal, with Liquid’s signature blue colour, light-blue accents and a simple collar on the round neckline. The organisation’s anniversary emblem is displayed prominently in the centre of the chest.
According to a press release, the emblem was inspired by the ‘medieval crests of old’, tying back to the organisation’s original medieval and fantasy-inspired branding. It features the Liquid’s horse in white on a blue shield adorned with a decorative header to highlight the organisation’s history.
“For years, our co-founder, Victor Goossens, was better-known as ‘Nazgul’ — a name taken from Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Our Six Mane Shield logo came from Tolkien too, stemming from the old banner image on TL.net,” Team Liquid noted when discussing the emblem.
While the emblem will be used across Liquid’s social media and branding throughout the year, the organisation noted that it is not a permanent rebrand.
25 Years of Team Liquid
Global esports organisation Team Liquid was established in 2000 as a clan for the real-time strategy (RTS) game StarCraft. Since then, it has grown into one of esports’ most notable organisations with rosters in numerous titles, including Counter-Strike, VALORANT, League of Legends and Dota 2.
Liquid also runs Liquipedia, one of the most-used wikis in gaming and has three esports training facilities worldwide, in partnership with gaming peripherals brand Alienware.
