Key information & rules

  • You have two ways to bring your vision to life: you can use our digital design tool or sketch your ideas on the physical postcard (which you might find tucked inside your recent order).
  • We want to see your take on MERKUR—whether that's inspired by the brand itself, specific MERKUR games, or the world of gaming in general. Don't hold back; feel free to utilize all the available space on both sides of the sock.
  • To make sure your design looks great when it's actually manufactured, please stick to bold shapes and clear, recognizable elements. Keep in mind that tiny details or overly complex patterns might not translate well during the production process.
  • Let your imagination run wild! There is virtually no cap on your creativity, so feel free to enter as many different designs as you'd like.
  • To keep things fair and legal, please avoid using personal names (including your own or those of influencers/streamers) and steer clear of third-party brand logos or text. Naturally, any entries featuring offensive, discriminatory, or inappropriate content will be disqualified.
  • To ensure your entry is tracked, please upload your final design only through the official form on the MERKUR STREETWEAR website. We cannot accept submissions sent via email or Instagram DMs.
