French leading global esports organisation Team Vitality has today revealed their latest jersey with sportswear brand hummel called Vitality for Paris. The third jersey is dedicated to the upcoming Paris Major, inspired by the organisation’s Parisian heritage.

For the first time in a decade, Team Vitality has revealed a third jersey embellished in yellow that pays respect to the history of the Parisian club and the values of Team Vitality. This third jersey will be worn by Team Vitality’s players during the BLAST.tv Paris Major alongside some of the biggest major international tournaments in esports. Fans can buy the jersey from today on their website, in V.Hive from the beginning of the BLAST.tv Paris Major, from 8th May and as a wearable accessory on the V.Hive app.

To celebrate Team Vitality’s qualification into the Paris Major, the Parisian club has incorporated a tri-colour design which showcases the lifeblood of Team Vitality and the city of Paris, including homages to the organisation’s decade in esports and the fleur-de-lys, synonymous with France.

  • The unique jersey is drenched in the colour of Jaune (Yellow), the historical colour of the club, to embody Team Vitality’s optimistic attitude and competitive spirit that drives them to be the best alongside the energy of the fans’ support.
  • The jersey is also supplemented with Noir (Black) for the team’s power and rigour when they compete against some of the greatest teams in the world. It also represents the unity and solidarity of all that are with the club.
  • To complete the tri-colour design, there are elements of Blanc (White) for Team Vitality’s professional attitude. Their calm and focused approach ahead of every competition is represented in this colour which symbolises equality among the community as a whole.

In tandem with these colours, the jersey boasts iconography which is intrinsic to the club and its Parisian heritage. The most noticeable addition is the insignia at the bottom of the jersey which depicts the iconic Eiffel Tower in Vitality yellow and black, to signify Team Vitality’s close connection to the city of Paris. Alongside this, there are other hints towards the Parisian club, including Team Vitality’s Performance Signature and Beehive Pattern with a call to Paris and the fleur-de-lys which are deeply connected to France and the city of Paris.

In the lead-up to the launch of the Vitality for Paris jersey, Team Vitality launched a series of 10 creative artefacts on their social media channels representing both the organisation and the city of Paris. These artefacts included a jar of honey which has been the lifeblood of Team Vitality for a decade. Others included a golden crown with the logo of Team Vitality and the fleur-de-lys embedded upon it to show Vitality’s success as crowned champions and act as a homage to the French royal family traditionally based in Paris.

Nicolas Maurer, CEO of Team Vitality commented, “This has been an incredible year for us so far as we celebrate our 10-year anniversary. We simply can’t wait to experience the Paris Major in our home city and believe that this iconic hummel jersey shows our excitement to celebrate our philosophy as one of Europe’s biggest esports organisations and our Parisian roots. In this jaune jersey, we’ve pieced together the parts of us that represent us and our beautiful city which we now pass onto our fans across the globe.”

Skyesports, the premier global IP and community builder, has successfully wrapped up the first-ever edition of Gaming Thiruvizha at the Chennai Trade Centre on August 30–31, bringing together more than 17,000 fans across two unforgettable days of gaming, anime, stand-up comedy, cosplay, music, and culture.

Gaming Thiruvizha turned out to be more than an event as it became a two-day carnival. From esports showdowns at LAN zones to cosplay walks, live stand-up, and Tamil cultural showcases, the Chennai crowd transformed the Trade Centre into a festival that truly belonged to them. Fans didn’t just attend; they stayed, celebrated, and created memories together.

The audience mix was as vibrant as the festival itself: college students, families, and kids all came together, proving that gaming and anime are no longer niche hobbies, but shared cultural movements.

Powered by AMD, with ticketing exclusively on KYN, Gaming Thiruvizha was hosted in association with the Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu (SDAT) and supported by AGS Cinemas as the Chennai Edition Theatre Partner.

Commenting on the conclusion of the Gaming Thiruvizha, Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO, Skyesports, said, “We couldn’t have asked for a better first edition of the Gaming Mahotsav. The energy of the crowd and the diversity of the audience reminded us why we built this IP — to bridge the gap between casual gamers and esports, and to create a space where gaming, anime, and culture thrive together. Next up, we will be bringing the concept to Bangalore in late September,” said Shiva Nandy, Founder and CEO of Skyesports.

The festival also welcomed dignitaries including Meghantha Reddy (Sports Development Authority of Tamil Nadu), Darez A. (MD, Guidance Tamil Nadu), and Gayathri Thyagarajan (Founder & CEO, Kynhood Technologies), underlining the growing recognition of gaming and esports as part of Tamil Nadu’s cultural and creative economy.

 

Highlights of the event include:

  • LAN tournaments across BGMI, Valorant, and other titles, with fans cheering players on in true stadium style.
  • A pan-India Cosplay competition bringing cosplayers from across the country with stunning costumes judged by top creators and anime experts.
  • Red Bull Armageddon, India’s first all-Armageddon format chess tournament, brought together over 350 players in Chennai with International Master Tania Sachdev and Grandmaster M. Shyam Sundar leading the action.
  • Merch alleys buzzing with anime and gaming collectibles alongside local Tamil art.
  • Stand-out experiential booths and meet-and-greets with Team Tamilas, Autobotz Esports, and Welt Esports.
  • PVR Cinemas set up local food experience stalls for attendees

With India on track to reach 700 million gamers by 2027, and anime/cosplay engagement skyrocketing across social media, Gaming Thiruvizha demonstrated that hyperlocal, immersive festivals are the way forward.

Gaming Thiruvizha is the first chapter of Skyesports’ Gaming Mahotsav, a six-city touring pop culture festival with regional editions in Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Kochi, and Pune. Each stop blends gaming, anime, music, comics, and local culture into one cohesive community celebration.
