Team Heretics is the most decorated Spanish esports organization, and 2025 proved to be one of their most creative years in merchandise design. Competing at the highest level in Valorant’s Champions Tour, the Madrid-based org released two jerseys that pushed the boundaries of what competitive esports apparel can look like: a Chinese Lunar New Year special edition that went viral on Reddit, and a limited pink Champions jersey that turned heads at VCT Champions in Paris.
Heretics has built one of the largest fanbases in European esports through a combination of competitive success, influencer connections, and a willingness to take risks with their branding. These two jerseys encapsulate that approach perfectly.
Snake Year Jersey (February 2025)
Released to celebrate the Chinese Year of the Snake, the Snake Year Jersey arrived in February 2025 as a limited-edition piece that immediately caught the attention of the Valorant community. The design features innovative Chinese character elements woven into Heretics’ signature visual language, creating a fusion that felt both culturally respectful and genuinely fresh.
The jersey generated significant buzz on the ValorantCompetitive subreddit, where the top-voted reaction summed up the community consensus: “This jersey is insane.” For a scene where jersey designs often blend together, the Snake Year edition stood out by drawing from a design tradition that esports merchandise rarely explores.
The Chinese Lunar New Year theme gave Heretics an opportunity to experiment with patterns, typography, and color accents that would not fit within their standard competitive kit. The result is a jersey that functions as both a collector’s piece and a wearable statement about the global nature of modern esports fandom.
Champions 2025 Pink Special Edition (August-September 2025)
When Team Heretics qualified for VCT Champions 2025 in Paris, the organization marked the occasion with a limited-edition pink jersey that broke every convention about what competitive Valorant jerseys should look like. The Champions Pink was worn by the roster on stage, giving it maximum visibility during one of the year’s most-watched esports events.
The design features experimental lettering that deconstructs the Heretics wordmark, combined with technical detailing that references the precision of competitive play. The overall aesthetic is deliberately raw, stripping away the polished commercial look that dominates esports merchandise in favor of something more authentic.
Pink is a bold choice for a competitive jersey. In a scene dominated by black, blue, and red, the Champions Pink positions Heretics as an organization willing to challenge aesthetic norms. The limited availability further reinforces the jersey’s status as a collectible rather than a mass-market product.
Two Jerseys, One Philosophy
What connects the Snake Year and Champions Pink jerseys is a shared commitment to treating esports merchandise as a creative medium. Neither jersey plays it safe. The Snake Year edition draws from a cultural tradition that most Western esports orgs would not attempt, while the Champions Pink rejects the visual playbook that has defined competitive jerseys for years.
For fans and collectors, the combination of limited availability and distinctive design makes both jerseys valuable additions to any esports apparel collection.
