Esports fans who also love anime can start shopping. The new Team Liquid x Naruto Shippuden Akatsuki collection is available today, and it is one of the biggest drops the organization has done with the series so far.
Team Liquid gave fans a full look at the lineup yesterday, sharing a preview image of every piece in the collection ahead of launch.
The Apparel Lineup
The clothing side of the collection leans heavily into the Akatsuki's signature black-and-red look. The standout piece is a racing-style jacket covered in red Akatsuki clouds, sponsor-style patches and Team Liquid branding. It looks like something a pit crew would wear if they also happened to be members of a rogue ninja organization.
There is also a black jacket with a red lining and the Uchiha crest printed on the hood, along with a pair of black joggers with red accents that look like they are meant to be paired with the racing jacket.
For something more casual, the collection includes a cream hoodie with an eye-themed graphic across the chest, plus three oversized tees. One black tee features red line art of Itachi on the back, a charcoal washed tee has a large character graphic on the back, and a blue tee has detailed line art of a character printed on the back.
Gaming Gear For Your Setup
Since this is Team Liquid, the collab also includes plenty of gear for your gaming setup. There are two keyboards in the drop. One has keycaps covered in artwork of Akatsuki members, while the other uses a red, gray and black color scheme with a cleaner look.
Three desk mats are also part of the collection. One features Madara Uchiha's name written in Japanese alongside a swirling design, another shows Itachi surrounded by red crows, and the third is a dark purple mat featuring a pair of outstretched hands.
Rounding things out is a set of six tumblers featuring characters like Naruto and Sasuke, plus one covered in the Akatsuki cloud pattern. The tumblers are an easy pick for anyone who wants something from the collection without going for a full outfit.
Pricing And Where To Buy
The collection is sold through the official Team Liquid store. Team Liquid did not share prices in its preview, so fans will want to check the store for pricing, sizes and stock levels for each item. Collab drops like this often have limited stock, so anyone eyeing the keyboards or the racing jacket may not want to wait too long.
Team Liquid's History With Naruto
This is far from the first time Team Liquid has teamed up with Naruto. The esports organization launched its first Naruto Shippuden collaboration in 2021, focusing on the Hidden Leaf Village, and followed it later that year with an Akatsuki collection that included around 20 pieces. Fans may remember the Itachi packable tech jacket, a chenille hoodie and a Zetsu long sleeve from that earlier drop.
The new collection feels like a sequel to that Akatsuki line, with a sharper focus on streetwear and desk setups. Team Liquid has also worked on collections with other big franchises over the years, including Demon Slayer, X-Men '97, Deadpool & Wolverine and Star Wars, making it one of the most active esports organizations when it comes to pop culture merch.
For fans who follow Team Liquid's teams across games like League of Legends, Valorant and Counter-Strike 2, this is also a chance to rep the organization with gear that works outside of an arena. The racing jacket in particular blends Team Liquid's esports roots with the Akatsuki's iconic style.
Are you going for one of the jackets from this collection, or is the gaming gear more your speed?
