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.”
Full details on our 2023 Performance Shirt will be revealed in the coming weeks with the
leisure range following shortly after. Regular updates will be shared on all Official Nativz
Channels.
