2023 was Valorant’s first franchised year, and Sentinels’ debut VCT Americas franchise jersey carried the weight of that historic moment. The Reddit community compiled a complete guide to where every franchised team’s 2023 jersey could be purchased, with Sentinels among the most sought-after.
The First Franchise Jersey
The 2023 jersey marks the beginning of Sentinels’ era as a permanent VCT Americas partner. Unlike the open-circuit system of previous years, the franchise model guaranteed Sentinels a spot in the league, making their jersey a symbol of long-term investment in competitive Valorant.
The jersey features Sentinels’ signature red, black, and white colorway in a design built for the new franchise era. Available through the Sentinels Shop, the jersey was part of a broader 2023 competition kit worn during all VCT Americas matches.
The Community Guide
A dedicated Reddit thread on r/ValorantCompetitive compiled links to every franchised team’s 2023 jersey, reflecting the community’s enthusiasm for the new franchise era. This grassroots merchandise guide showed that fans were actively seeking to support their favorite teams through jersey purchases, validating the franchise model’s commercial potential.
Building the Merch Empire
The 2023 franchise jersey was just the beginning of what would become one of esports’ most creative merchandise operations:
- 2023 — Franchise debut jersey
- 2024 — Updated VCT Pro Jersey
- 2025 — Haikyu collection, Masters Toronto Hockey Jersey, Champions Paris Jersey, Blackout 2025 Jersey
- 2026 — Pro Jersey + Custom Jersey + Windbreaker + Photocards
The evolution from a single franchise jersey to a multi-product, multi-collection operation in just three years demonstrates Sentinels’ understanding that merchandise is a revenue pillar, not an afterthought.
