North American professional esports organization Team Liquid has announced an apparel collaboration with the long-running popular anime and manga series Naruto Shippuden, which on Friday will be launching a line of stylized hoodies, long-sleeve shirts, and T-shirts. The synergy between both brands also marks a celebration of both Team Liquid and Naruto's 20-year anniversaries.

"With both brands celebrating our respective twentieth anniversaries, this is the prefect time to team up," said Alexander Lee, senior licensing manager at publisher VIZ Media, in a statement. "Anime and esports fashion is constantly evolving and we are ecstatic to be an integral part of this unique collaboration… Like our fans, we love anime, and Naruto is one of the most successful anime franchises of all time."
