“I made the design with my main inspiration being the Fnatic Valorant team. I'm a relatively new fan, joining early 2021, but watching them persevere through each tournament and have that drive in each player drew me in. I wanted to make the crow a distinct part of the design, a nod to the thought: are they there to bring about the downfall of others or will such negative happenstance be inflicted on themselves?
It's also a motif I like to use in some fan arts for the team, to convey my hopes that they will be able to fly higher with each match. Seeing the support of other fans and the org made me really appreciate the community and inspired me as an artist. I hope this thought on the design will be reflected well onto the wearer.
Thank you Fnatic for this opportunity, thank you to my friends who assured me, and to the fans who voted for my design. To don my design during their heart-racing, life span shortening games is something I can’t wait to do, and I still can’t believe I’m able to do so.
I’m really so grateful for this and I hope you’ll enjoy the hoodie. Stay warm, stay comfy. #alwaysfnatic”
