[FURIA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/furia-2), the Brazilian esports organization, is partnering with [Champion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champion-2) to unveil a [12-piece capsule collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/champion-x-undercover) featuring t-shirts, three-hooded sweatshirts, and a crewneck. The collection draws inspiration from each brand's unique motifs and mascots, providing esports and sportswear enthusiasts with a new selection of garments.

The FURIA panther will be a notable motif across three graphic designs, while the final option will combine the animal with the Champion arch. The 'Logo Lockup' appears on other products in the collection, spotlighting a fusion of the Champion and FURIA logos.

To promote the visual campaign, FURIA has partnered with its creators, Arapê, YouTuber Brino, and Counter-Strike player Gabriela ‘Gabs’ Freindorfer. The Champion x FURIA collection will be released online through the brand's stores and at the Champion Store in São Paulo.
