Esports team FlyQuest and iconic 2000s streetwear brand Von Dutch are turning the gaming meme “League is dead” into fashion with their first-ever “League is Dead” capsule collection. The line blends Von Dutch’s rebellious, nostalgic style with FlyQuest’s modern esports branding, creating collectible streetwear items for fans who recognize the game still has substantial influence.
Available now at FlyQuest’s online store, the collection features trucker hats, oversized tees, and statement sweaters that nod to gaming culture and internet chatter. This limited-edition drop is also available in person at the FlyQuest pop-up during the 2025 LTA Finals in Allen, Texas, September 27-28, with an exclusive Worlds Collection set to launch in October.
“Gamers love drama—and we love to stir the pot,” said Paul Cho, VP of Partnerships at FlyQuest. “League isn’t dead; it’s evolving. Von Dutch is the perfect partner, both brands thrive on boldness, creativity, and shaking up what’s expected. This capsule is about laughing with the community and proving esports can look as good as it plays.”
