The history of NAVI jersey: from black t-shirt to Puma

News / 1 July 2021 — 12:05

Do you remember all of the jerseys we had?

On June 27th the renewed was unveiled, which was designed together with the technical sponsor Puma. In light of this event, we decided to look back at how NAVI's jerseys have changed since 2010. Any boomers?

2010–2011

Let's start back in 2010 when the ua NAVI Counter-Strike 1.6 team wore simple black t-shirts with player nicknames and the club name on the back. We can all agree, there's something nostalgic and nice about that!

The next iteration of the jersey is the same black shirt, but with a big team logo on the back. And the nicknames of the players got much more prominent. Esports was gaining popularity, and the icons of millions were loudly making themselves heard in the spotlight.

In 2011, we presented the first shirt design that could honestly fit the definition of a jersey. It was made in yellow and black colors and served as a kind of basis for further variations. Subsequently, the design elements changed, but the overall concept remained the same.

2012–2013

ua NAVI introduced a casual yellow hoodie, which is still loved by loyal fans. And the t-shirt version with a predominantly black color looked interesting and stylish.

How about the women's ua NAVI Dota 2 roster? Do you remember that? The 2013 uniforms were predominantly white, but the traditional yellow and black accents made the jersey recognizable.

2014–2015

T-shirts design in 2014-2015 were presented only in yellow and black (it was decided not to use white colors). But the players' collections included cozy windbreaker jackets.

Later on, the jersey design underwent minor changes: at The International 2015 and subsequent tournaments, the team played in uniforms with white inserts on the sides (the white color made comeback!). There was also a casual T-shirt with the ua NAVI branding, which the players wore quite often. 

2016–2017

At the end of 2016, the white jersey came back into more prominence. The overall design remained the same: the only changes were to the arrangement of colors.

In 2017-2018, ua NAVI favored the casual style. So, you could see the players in yellow and black sweatshirts and black polo shirts. On top, our guys wore stylish jackets.

2018–2020

ua NAVI's 2018 jersey caused mixed reactions from fans. Eventually, the club took fans' opinions into account and launched a poll to choose the jersey for next season.

The new T-shirt design was approved by the fans, and the team also got stylish windbreaker jackets. In addition, there was a special design for The International 2019 and StarLadder Berlin Major 2019: The t-shirts featured the outlines of the cities where the championships were held.

In 2019, the esports club ua NAVI opened its own production of branded clothing. The clothes from the collaboration with LITKOVSKAYA are still regularly seen on the streets of Kyiv and other cities.

The year 2020 started with a new jersey, which was presented in two color variants. However, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the number of LAN tournaments where you could see the team sharply decreased.
