FaZe Clan has announced a collaboration with Disney that will result in a year-long apparel collection. The collection introduces a ‘tech-vamped’ version of Mickey Mouse called ‘Mickey On The Grid.’
Launching May 28, 2022, in FaZe Clan’s themed pop-up store, the collection will feature t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats. The collection was designed in collaboration with Disney’s creative team and FaZe Clan’s Lead Designer James Casper Vine and Creative Director Jay ‘JVY’ Richardson.
Richardson commented on the collaboration, saying: “This year-long collaboration is a part of our ongoing expansion into retail and consumer products. Myself and the product team at FaZe are honoured Disney trusted us to take a creative and modern approach to such an iconic character like Mickey Mouse.”
