Guild Esports PLC
("Guild Esports" or "the Company")
Second apparel range launched
Guild Esports (LSE: GILD), a global team organisation and lifestyle brand, is pleased to announce the launch of its second limited-edition apparel collection, Core Collection.
The new Core Collection comes six months after the debut line was introduced. Since then, the Guild brand's worldwide recognition has grown strongly, in part driven by victories in major Fortnite and Rocket League tournaments as well as a surge in Guild's owned audience of followers on social media from approximately 10,000 to 450,000, including a network audience of over 13 million across Guild's pro players and content creators.
The new collection will comprise ten new monochrome products, including tracksuit bottoms, shorts, a selection of long and short sleeve T-shirts, a beanie hat, cap and face mask. All items will feature Guild's logo designed by the acclaimed streetwear designer Fergus Purcell. Prices for the new collection will range from £8 to £55 at retail and all products will be available for shipping to the U.K., Europe and the USA.
The new Core Collection goes on sale online from today, exclusively on the Guild website, at: apparel.guildesports.com.
The Company plans to introduce further collections and product lines in due course.
Carleton Curtis, executive chairman, said: "We are delighted to launch our second apparel line at a time when the Guild brand is gaining increasing recognition and followers worldwide. We expect our growing popularity to boost demand for merchandising and thereby make a valuable contribution to our revenues and growth over the long term."
