Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) is a South Korean esports organization competing in the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK). Backed by Hanwha Group, one of South Korea’s largest conglomerates, HLE has transformed from a mid-tier LCK team into a genuine international contender. That competitive rise has been matched by a sharp upgrade in their merchandise operation, headlined by the launch of WILLBE PLAY, HLE’s global merch shop that opened in February 2024.
The arrival of WILLBE PLAY gave international fans direct access to HLE gear for the first time. Across the 2024 and 2025 seasons, the organization released a series of regular season uniforms and special Worlds editions that reflect both their evolving brand identity and their breakthrough competitive results.
2024 Regular Season Uniform
The 2024 regular season uniform arrived in a white and orange colorway, maintaining HLE’s established color palette. The design is clean and modern, with bold orange accents across the shoulders and side panels set against a white base. HLE’s winged logo sits prominently on the chest, with sponsor placements integrated without overwhelming the overall aesthetic.
This jersey carried the team through a dominant 2024 campaign that would culminate in their best international finish to date.
2024 Worlds Editions: Orange Authentic and Gold Authentic
For the 2024 League of Legends World Championship, HLE released two special edition uniforms through WILLBE PLAY:
Orange Authentic — The primary Worlds variant features a deeper, more saturated orange colorway than the regular season kit. The design incorporates a winged emblem motif that draws from HLE’s logo, rendered as a textured graphic across the front panel. This was the uniform the players wore on stage during their historic Worlds 2024 run.
Gold Authentic — The premium variant elevates the Worlds kit with gold accents replacing the standard orange highlights. The same winged emblem design is present, but the gold treatment gives the jersey a distinctly celebratory feel. This edition was positioned as a collector’s piece for fans marking HLE’s Worlds 2024 runner-up finish, the organization’s deepest run at the World Championship.
2025 Regular Season Uniform
HLE entered the 2025 LCK season with a new direction in their uniform design, shifting to a black and white colorway. The departure from the orange-dominant look signals a brand evolution while retaining orange as a secondary accent. The black base gives the jersey a more aggressive, premium appearance that aligns with the team’s status as a top-tier LCK competitor.
2025 Worlds Edition
Building on their Worlds 2024 success, HLE prepared a 2025 Worlds edition uniform that went on sale October 1, 2025. This kit returns to the orange and white color scheme, reconnecting with HLE’s heritage for the international stage. The design balances the brand refresh of the 2025 regular season kit with the recognizable orange identity that fans associate with HLE’s Worlds appearances.
HLE’s Breakthrough Era
The uniform releases across 2024-2025 coincide with HLE’s most successful competitive period. Their Worlds 2024 runner-up finish put the organization on the global map, and their strong 2025 form confirmed that the result was no fluke. For fans, these jerseys carry weight beyond aesthetics — they represent the era when HLE became a genuine threat on the world stage.
