Dota 2 TI6 Fashion: Teams Ranked According to Style
By Phil Newman
5. TNC Gaming (Pictured: Raven, Kuku, Sam_H, DeMoN, eyyou)
This is what I’m talking about! TNC’s logo is well-suited for a jersey design, and they display it proudly with it taking up most of the front side of the shirt. The balance between the head of the dragon, the logo, and the background really centers attention in a natural, flattering way.
Extra points for using the gray at the bottom to guide eyes to the main features of this design. Well done!
4. Team Liquid (Pictured: MATUMBAMAN, JerAx, KuroKy, MinD_ContRoL, FATA- )
Liquid’s logo featured prominently, taking up roughly the bottom three-quarters of the front. The blue, white, black choice for coloring is striking, and choosing black as the accent for the collar ties it all together.
If I had to choose one word, it would be “superb.”
3. Team Secret (Pictured: pielidedie)
Something about Secret’s jerseys is easy on the eyes. I can’t quite figure out what it is, but the pattern creates an interesting shape while drawing focus back to their middle logo. The name below the logo isn’t anything special, but it doesn’t take away from the design at all, either.
Maybe the thing that makes this jersey so appealing is its balance. All the elements blend together to create a stylish harmony that earned Secret their 3rd place ranking.
2. Newbee (Pictured: kpii)
I’d buy one of these polos in a heartbeat. The solid black with Newbee’s logo on the side, the yellow and blue lines running from the collar along the shoulder and down to the sleeves of the shirt, it’s little touches like these that put this jersey on another level entirely.
Extra points for the team name in gold along the collar.
Newbee might have even taken first for this year’s TI fashion battle, but the player names stitched diagonally below both sides of the lapel look out of place. They might have been able to pull that off on one side alone, but both? Nope.
It should be noted that these fashionable fellas also have custom pants that pair well with their jerseys. A valiant effort boys! Second place isn’t bad at all.
1. LGD Gaming (Pictured: xiao8)
When all is said and done, the elegant simplicity of LGDs design is what pushed them to the top of this list. I’m not going to lie to you – I have no clue what the front design is. And that’s part of what makes their jersey great.
This is something that I would even wear casually. The placement of sponsors on the sleeves was a great idea, giving an almost military aspect to the shirt. The consistency of the color scheme keeps the shirt grounded without being boring about it. Very nice.
LGD was so on fire with their fashion game, they even wore matching shoes! Gamer-chic for sure.
