T1’s Worlds 2024 merchandise is sold out online, but there are still ways for fans to get their hands on it.

T1 is inarguably one of the most popular League of Legends (LoL) teams, boasting one of the largest fanbases, mainly due to their impressive record as four-time Worlds champions. It's no surprise that their Worlds 2024 merchandise was in high demand, but fans were still shocked by how fast it sold out.

T1 previously announced their Worlds 2024 collection on September 14, featuring exclusive jerseys, jackets, pants, mufflers, and later, keychains. Now, everything is listed as sold out on the official T1 Shop website.

Jackets sold out in just 5 minutes

The T1 Shop uploaded the jacket purchase link on October 16 at exactly 12 AM, and in just five minutes, the jacket sold out in all sizes (S to XL). This broke the previous record set by the jerseys, which sold out earlier on October 8.

Priced at $152, the jacket is considered a collector's item, with nostalgic images of T1 moments featured on the inner part. It also includes the T1 20th Anniversary logo, commemorating a major milestone for the organization.

With this, T1's entire Worlds 2024 merchandise collection has sold out, including the newly released Uniform Jersey Keychain. The only remaining item is the DIY Kit, which some fans find somewhat pointless without the actual uniform.

Resellers mark up prices, fans demand restock

Korean and worldwide fans have flooded T1 Shop's Instagram posts, calling for a restock and expressing frustration over non-fans buying in bulk to resell the items at marked-up prices. Some jackets, especially those featuring "Faker" tags, have appeared on Naver (A popular online platform and search engine in South Korea), selling for almost double the original price, with some even turning into auctions.

While this commonly happens with limited-edition items like concert tickets, fans are disappointed that T1 didn’t better anticipate the situation. This issue has occurred before, notably with previous Worlds and MSI merchandise releases.

At the time of writing, T1 has not responded to fans' calls for a restock. However, based on previous cases, a restock seems unlikely as T1 tends to keep its limited-edition items exclusive.
