Leo Team x Derega x Syndicate — a manifesto of new Ukrainian energy born at the intersection of esports, art, and fashion
Leo Team x Derega x Syndicate — a manifesto of new Ukrainian energy born at the intersection of esports, art, and fashion. The collaboration reflects the modern Ukrainian character, drive, and freedom of self-expression.
The collaboration resulted in a three-piece set featuring graphic elements: a hoodie, joggers, and a t-shirt. Throughout the link you can download the campaign.
"Today, esports is about tournaments, fan communities, and educational programs. It is more than sport — it is a cultural movement, the spirit and voice of a generation. Esports, just like fashion and graphic art, influences Ukraine's visibility in the world. Leo Team united with the Syndicate brand and Oles Derega to create a visual manifesto of digital energy. The synergy of these three cultural currents gave rise to the Leo Team merch — a visual embodiment of strength, focus, and identity," comments Daria Kotul, co-founder of Leo Team.
The Syndicate brand team was responsible for the clothing design and its execution. A brand that long ago ceased to be just clothing and became part of the city's identity. The hoodie and joggers are executed in deep black, preserving the brand's signature cut. The oversize t-shirt is executed in white with graphic elements created by Oles Derega.
The graphic elements created by Oles Derega are a distinct part of the project's visual language. Among the illustrations featured on the clothing are a lion, fire, and a human holding a peace symbol.
The Lion is the team's symbol, embodying leadership and cold concentration. Fire symbolizes inner strength, impulse, and drive. The peace symbol, supported by a human, refers to the idea of peace as a shared value requiring awareness and action.
Together, these images capture the state in which new Ukrainian energy is born. This is streetstyle that speaks of freedom, inner intensity, and readiness to move forward.
"Through esports, we are developing an environment of responsibility, discipline, and self-expression, through which Ukraine becomes more visible and competitive in the global digital space," notes founder and cyber-enthusiast Alona Shevtsova.
Leo Team is not just CS2 players. It is a team that embodies the Ukrainian spirit: resilience, cold concentration, and uncompromising style.
That is why this collaboration goes beyond esports. It highlights it as a cultural force shaping a new Ukrainian presence in the world — modern, confident, and competitive.
Digital energy is not a trend. It is the state of Ukraine playing at high speeds.
