Nativz Gaming and OXEN have today announced a multi-year partnership which will see the global sports brand become the Official Technical Kit partner for the semi-professional teams and the Nativz Collegiate Esports Series.
Launched in April 2019, OXEN have very quickly established themselves in traditional sports and are now looking to reach into the world of esports. Creating quality garments for athletes at the top of their game and fitness enthusiasts aligns nicely with what the Nativz team were looking for.
Across 2022 Nativz have gone from success to success having won the Northern European Championship (the NLC) 2nd Division and claimed promotion to the 2023 1st Division. Having acquired the Valorant First Team in mid-year their season has culminated in qualification for the Redbull Campus Clutch World Series Finals in Brazil.
This success at the professional level has been complimented by the acquisition of the Irish Collegiate Esports Series in September – creating a complete pathway for players, coaches, creators and administrators.
OXEN will provide a performance kit for the League of Legends and Valorant First Teams while also supporting an emerging roster of Content Creators. In addition, OXEN are creating a kit builder solution that will be used in order to support the Nativz Collegiate Esports League teams and players to create their own branded performance shirts.
Most importantly the Nativz community will be able to choose from a leisure range better suited to a growing community of gamers. Conor Peyton, Head of Sales for Elite Pro Sports, parent company for OXEN commented:
“We are delighted to be partnering with Nativz which will see us enter into a long-term agreement with the Northern European League of Legends division one side.
“After meeting with Kurt and the team at Nativz we were blown away with their passion and vision, the growth mindset they shared aligned with our core values which made the decision to work together simple. This partnership will be the first of its kind for Elite Pro Sport and we can’t wait to be submersed in to the world of Esports!”
Kurt Pittman, Nativz Gaming Founder and Chairman commented on the partnership:
“The partnership with OXEN provides us with a capability to offer our players quality performance clothing and at the same time introduce a leisure range for our growing community. Building on the foundations we’ve put in place over the past 19 months.”
“Given the importance of the Collegiate Series here in Ireland, we’re delighted to have found a partner with the ability and desire to add value for the many students competing across the island of Ireland.”
