Sentinels is a Los Angeles-based esports organization that has become one of the most prominent names in Valorant, having built a passionate fanbase through dominant performances and bold content creation. Beyond competition, Sentinels has consistently pushed the boundaries of esports merchandise with creative collaborations that speak to their audience’s broader interests.
In August 2025, Sentinels partnered with Crunchyroll to launch a Haikyu-themed apparel collection, bridging the worlds of competitive gaming and anime in one of the most ambitious crossover drops the esports scene has seen.
The Collection
The Sentinels x Haikyu collection features eight items inspired by two of the anime’s most iconic volleyball teams: Karasuno High and Nekoma High.
Performance Jerseys
The highlight of the drop is two performance jerseys priced at $75 each. The Karasuno Jersey features the team’s signature blue and orange colorway, while the Nekoma Jersey comes in black and red. Both jerseys allow fans to select player numbers from the anime, including Kageyama’s #9 and Hinata’s #10 for Karasuno, or Kenma’s #5 and Kuroo’s #1 for Nekoma. The jerseys use the same performance fabric as Sentinels’ official VCT competition wear.
Hoodies and Apparel
Two hooded sweatshirts ($75 each) feature designs inspired by each school, with graphic elements pulled directly from the Haikyu universe. A graphic t-shirt ($29.99) rounds out the tops, featuring a crossover design that blends Sentinels branding with Haikyu artwork.
Shorts and Accessories
Two pairs of athletic shorts ($40 each) match the Karasuno and Nekoma themes, suitable for both gym use and casual wear. A custom water bottle ($25) completes the collection with a dual-branded design.
Why It Matters
The Sentinels x Haikyu drop represents a growing trend in esports: anime crossover merchandise. The overlap between competitive gaming fans and anime viewers has been well documented, and Sentinels was among the first major orgs to capitalize on it with a full collection rather than a one-off piece.
The timing was strategic too, launching on August 22, 2025, the same day as the VCT 2025 Americas Stage 2 playoffs, ensuring maximum visibility for the brand.
