National body British Esports recently announced a three-year partnership with Oneallsports, a supplier of sports apparel and merch.
Oneallsports will serve as official training kit and merchandise supplier to the British Esports Federation. It will provide training gear, competition kits and additional merchandise to British Esports’ national esports teams and athletes competing in international esports tournaments, like the Global Esports Games (which was recently delayed).
Oneallsports will also produce a range of other esports apparel and accessories for various British Esports’ initiatives, including diversity initiative Women in Esports, and the Student Champs, the esports tournament for UK schools and colleges.
British Esports followers can also buy items direct, including hoodies, shirts, snoods, umbrellas, stickers, wristbands, key chains, bags, flags, hats, scarves, sleeves and drinks bottles.
British Esports made the announcement featuring a rather sophisticated looking head of partnerships, Gary Tibbett.
Tthe new collection features items made from organic cotton (GOTS certified), recycled polyesters, bamboo, and repreve – all chosen ‘to minimise ecological impact while maintaining high product quality’.
“We’re thrilled to bring our expertise in sustainable and innovative tech sportswear to British Esports, one of the leading esports federations in the world,” said David Mendelsohn, CEO of Oneallsports.
“Our commitment to innovation and environmental responsibility is at the core of this new collection, aiming to enhance the athletes’ experience while supporting a greener future.”
“We’re confident the UK’s national esports teams will perform well and represent the nation with pride, thanks to our premium designs that combine comfort with a distinctive British identity.”

“We are delighted to partner with Oneallsports, a brand that shares our commitment to excellence and sustainability,” added Chester King, President of British Esports.
“This collaboration represents a significant step forward in providing our national esports teams with best-in-class training apparel that combines performance, comfort, and eco-conscious innovation. Together, we aim to inspire the next generation of esports talent while promoting a greener future for the industry.”
