It's pretty fucking cool to finally see these shirts on sale. Internal struggles were a part of this process more than ever, and running into new problems seemed more habit than exception. Our tendency to try and solve problems instead of ignoring them can work against us in getting things done fast, but getting things right is something we strongly believe in as a company, and this shows in our products. Those of you who have bought from our store before will be able to confirm this, and those of you who haven't yet will have to take our word for it.
I would like to thank HawaiianPig for the design, disciple for all his hard work behind the scenes of our store, Amy from our production company who seems like she never sleeps, and most of all I would like to thank all of our fans who make it possible for us to work on these projects.
The team uniform follows our philosophy of clean design and comfortable fit. Our original team shirt was one of the most popular symbols in ESPORTS, that's why we wanted the new design to feel familiar to our fans. Yet we can comfortably say the new shirt improved upon every aspect of the old one - the shirt model we used is way more comfortable, the quality is much better as well. Despite all the improvements and new design features, such as the TL emblem embroidery, we've managed to keep our production costs down and ultimately offer the shirt for the same price as the old one - 25$.
For a period during the early stages of the uniforms development we were discussing what fabric exactly we want to use. While polyester offers more of a sporty look, we decided that the comfort of the 100% cotton shirt is of great importance for us and especially for our players, who want to stay nice and comfy even during the long hours of play at live events. Combined with the design, we believe using cotton shirt in our case truly results in a product that can be worn all day, everyday and in every environment.
Coming Soon on EU Store
As much as we wanted to launched the shirts in EU today, the logistical problems about producing identical shirts on both stores have once again proven to be very difficult and time consuming to deal with. Due to supply shortages we had to look for another option for the shirt model and possibly a different manufacturer. Finally, some time by the end of August we found a great substitute produced by a German company. Our shirt printers in the UK are currently waiting for the blank shirt stock to arrive and will proceed with the production as soon as possible. Because sewing the emblem on is a delicate work, we expect to have the production run completed in about a month from now. More details about the exact launch date and pricing will be available soon. Once again we apologize to our EU fans for the delay ,but still strongly suggest them to wait for the EU launch, so they can enjoy vastly superior and more reliable shipping.

Hello everyone, here is a site bug for the site developers.
[Bug][Text] Some items in the store display wrong prices.
When the user enters the store located at : http://www.teamliquid.net/store/us/teamliquid/t-shirts, the user can notie that the item : "TSL 4 T-Shirt" displays 0$ instead of $12.95 as well "TSL 4 Poster" wich displays 0$ instead of $6.95 . Notice that this issue occurs on the US MTX Store.
Sick city, just ordered mine with a TL Goliathus. Can't wait, last time I accidentally ordered medium instead of large which does not look very flattering on me... This time I made doubly sure to get the right size! Though if I slim down a lot I could fit into the medium, TL promoting weight loss one fat nerd at a time!

PS : Sorry for posting here, but i couldn't find any better place to post it.
Thanks for your concern, but that is not a bug, good sir! The TSL4 shirt is free with the purchase of any other TL branded shirt. As well, the poster is free with the purchase of any other poster.
I'm gonna wear this shirt to all my classes once I get it, and all the ladies are gonna swoon in awe and envy of my sick shirt representing such an amazing team.
When I went to try and order the free TL poster after ordering the new TL shirt the price was still 6.95. Too bad the TSL4 shirts are sold out as well.
So, i have a really weird request. I am a dad and i really want to get my son some E-sports related attire but i cant for the life of me find anything all that relevant. If the E-sports gods are listening, perhaps just perhaps there are special order things that can be worked out? or anything of that nature? Anyone have anything that can point me in the right direction?

That promo is still going on? Nice. Too bad it's one per customer and I used it earlier, or I'd go for a second tsl4 shirt with this new one, that is one of the most comfortable shirts I've ever had.
Dude, you must do this on EU also, you have so many fans overhere. I bought the winged horse one 2 years ago from US, and paid extra for transport, was not cool, so pretty please, make it available asap on EU also. Thanks :D

Fantastic I actually think poly feels better but I'm definitely getting this anyway, so awesome ^^
I don't know what size to get though... medium vs small. The winged horse graphic tee is just a little big for me at a medium, is this shirt the same size? The chart says so but I'm not sure :x
Too bad the Twitch logo isn't on the shoulders, I thought it was cool to have writing there on my old TL jersey. Nonetheless, this is the reason I've been refreshing TL every 20 minutes since that blog post was made last week!!!!! On it's way

I ordered one (to Europe) two hours ago..?
That would have been from the US store (I'm not sure if we're accepting EU orders on there anymore). You may be charged extra fees and have a significant wait before the item is delivered. We will be stocking our EU store as soon as possible.
Ive been waiting so long for these jerseys to come on sale, ever since i saw koroks i thought they were pretty cool. Needless to say, i have already bought one
Hi, is it possible to purchase one with the player's name on the back? I was wondering if i can get one with TaeJa's name on it like a normal sports jersey. It would be uber cool
If we sell out we will restock, if you mean when are they going to be discontinued I dont know, but with are not looking to change the team shirt any time soon.
So, I live in the EU, but I ordered (within 5 minutes it went on sale yesterday) this jersey via the US store and paid 9 dollar for shipping costs. Was I allowed to do this and will I receive the jersey or will I receive a mail soon that says that the order is cancelled? I hope it doesn't gets cancelled

I guess he thinks the shirt is cheaper now than normally and asks how long this offer stays up.

My perhaps unrelated two cents: It sometimes seems like management here overestimates how much people value the team liquid brand over and above its specific players. Sort of like if the Heat were to attribute all their recent jersey sales to their being the 'Heat,' rather than their being the 'Lebron and friends Vehicle.' Meh. Maybe that's less true for TL.
I think the best option is for customers to choose whether they want to have names on the back of their jersey or not by having an option at checkout like an 3/4 usd add on? I don't mind paying a little bit more extra to get the players name or my name in official lettering. I assume that some people rather have a blank shirt or even customize their own names. I think its a really cool way for us fans to show our attachment to the team
I am getting the shirt. its just a matter of time if I can wait a little longer for the TL shop to have the option of custom names on the back. (provided they don't run out of stock >_<)
Really good T-shirt, but it's not appropriate for incoming months. Not for EU at least. If you offer more warmth (e.g. longer sleeves), then I may reconsider.

Its difficult to set up technically and if we end up doing it, which imo is quite likely, it will be a very limited run, with all the patches on the arms, sponsors on the shoulders for hardcore fans and collectors.

The main risk of ordering to the EU from the US store is slow shipping and import duty / taxes.

I don't mind the slow shipping, usually it's here within 2 weeks by regular/cheap transport, which is fine and I never had to pay import duty / taxes for stuff like this *knocks on wood*.

Well, I think you guys should do these on pre-order basis. I'd love to get such nice piece - as I already have two liquid jerseys (the old ones) & would love to add a full new Liquid uniform to my collection :D And for hardcore fans..? I hope being Editor at LP counts towards that! :D

I would snap them up in an instant! Yea I agree with BabyToss! that if you guys do plan to do a limited run, it should be on a pre order basis! I guess I will wait for TL to announce this limited run and hold on purchasing the shirt first?
I just ordered this shirt. I was wondering if I could guarantee the arrival before IEM NY because the reason I am ordering it is for the event. I think 2 weeks should be sufficient but could a TL admin let me know if I will receive it before or not so I can keep or cancel the purchase? Thanks!!
I'm approving the orders in a couple of waves so our distributor doesnt get completely overwhelmed, they should be sending out the first orders now, hopefully all orders will be shipped out until the end of this week. After that at least for USA delivery takes just a couple of days.
I think it doesn't matter if you order from the US store or EU store, as long as your country is listed in the US store.
The only thing is that shipping might take longer than normal and might be less reliable (might not arrive at all or pay extra taxes) than when ordering from EU store.
However, I barely had any problems *knocks on wood* getting items like this shipped from the US to me, so I was willing to take this risk.

If they will hit EU in a month we may as well order from US and they will likely be dilvered earlier that way won't they?
The t-shirt looks amazing, can't wait to attire it.
Yes, we have stock coming to EU next month. We'd recommend waiting and ordering from the EU store if you're in Europe, you will get faster and more reliable shipping and no risk of import fees / customs taxes / VAT / etc.
Awesome! Already bought TL Rising and your Old T-shirt (which is pretty destroyed by all washing by now, 1 year later) Definitely won´t wash this one ; )
just checked almost all orders from day 1 are already shipped out, US orders will be delivered apparently any day now, you can check your tracking guys (US only)

Hey dodgin, why not share some of that awesomeness by posting a pict of you wearing it etc?
I dunno, probably not in the public forums. I don't have a facebook because I don't like pictures of myself floating around on the internet. I can assure you it looks awesome though.
Update on the EU batch ! The production is going great and faster than we hoped - we will soon complete the entire run. Please do not order from the NA Store , the shirts are coming. Here's a picture of one of the EU made shirts:
Got my two TL jerseys! Would love to be able to get my name on the back (or any name for that matter) I hope that that would be an option in the future.
So far I am pleased with the feel and look of this shirt. I enjoy it much more than the last "jersey" I am also hoping that this one will hold up better to washing (no fading of the printed stuff) And the TL logo is great!
Thank you for the shirts and all the work you put into these TL projects!!
Got my TL team shirt last week, have already worn it quite a bit. Looks great, and I'm always looking out for that nod of appreciation from my fellow TLers. It's really good quality (especially the embroidered logo) and washes fine.
For anyone wondering whether to get one - do it, you'll look great
