G2 Esports x DC Comics Joker Prestige Jersey

G2 Esports announced one of the most unexpected partnerships in esports fashion history in April 2023: a multi-collection collaboration with DC Comics through Warner Brothers. The first drop was a limited-edition Joker-themed Prestige Jersey worn by G2’s League of Legends team at the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI).

Forbes covered the announcement, calling it a milestone for esports-entertainment crossovers. The collaboration went beyond a simple licensing deal: G2 stated that these would be “one-off jerseys centred around key tournaments,” meaning each major event would feature a different DC Comics character.

The Joker Jersey

The MSI 2023 Prestige Jersey draws from the Joker’s iconic visual identity — the chaotic, unpredictable energy of DC’s most famous villain translated into an esports competition kit. The design incorporates Joker imagery, purple and green tones, and a distinctly different aesthetic from G2’s standard black and red Pro Kit.

As a Prestige Jersey, this sits above G2’s standard Pro Kit in their product hierarchy. The Prestige line has been G2’s designated jersey for international events, typically featuring more ambitious designs than the season-long competition kit.

DC Comics Partnership Scope

G2 announced the DC partnership as a multi-collection deal, with plans for different DC characters to feature in subsequent tournament jerseys. This positions the collaboration as an ongoing creative relationship rather than a single product launch, giving G2 a pipeline of culturally relevant designs tied to one of entertainment’s most valuable intellectual property portfolios.

The partnership was cited by Esports Insider as one of the biggest esports partnerships of 2023, reflecting its significance for both the esports and entertainment industries.
