Over 2.3 million players logged into Zenless Zone Zero on launch day. Since then, each new character drop has brought its own wave of fans hungry for apparel that captures their favorite agents. But finding the right merch among countless options? That's the real Hollow raid.

I've designed merch for years, and I know that not all character designs translate well to fabric. Clean linework and distinct color palettes matter. That's why I curated this list of the best Zenless Zone Zero new character merch for 2026. Whether you're a day-one player or just returning for Version 1.5, these picks will help you represent your squad in style.

New Characters in Version 1.5 and Their Best Merch

Version 1.5 introduced a fresh wave of agents, and their designs are already fan favorites. Here are the top 10 merch pieces inspired by these new characters:

1. 'Void Hunter' Pullover Hoodie - Features the signature black-and-teal motif of the new Void faction. The hoodie uses a 400gsm fleece that holds up after repeated washes. 2. 'Ether Echo' Long-Sleeve Tee - A subtle print of the new character Lilith's signature ether sigil on the left chest. Premium 180gsm ringspun cotton. 3. 'Proxy Protocol' Snapback Cap - Embroidered with both the New Eridu logo and the faction emblem. Structured fit with a curved brim. 4. 'Bangboo Battalion' Crew Socks - Ankle-length with a repeating Bangboo pattern. Comes in three colorways. Perfect for subtle flex. 5. 'Hollow Recon' Zip Hoodie - Lightweight for layering. The back print shows the new recon character's tactical gear silhouette in reflective ink. 6. 'Sigil of Order' Tote Bag - Heavy-duty canvas with a matte-printed sigil. Holds a tablet and a few snacks for your commute. 7. 'Agent 07' Track Jacket - Two-tone nylon jacket with embroidered badges on the sleeves. Based on the combat jacket of a new faction leader. 8. 'Cyberscape' Phone Grip - Die-cut shape of a new character's cybernetic eye design. Snaps onto most cases. 9. 'Etheric' Baseball Tee - Raglan sleeve tee with a stripe pattern echoing the new faction's color scheme. Soft triblend fabric. 10. 'Phase Shifter' Joggers - Fleece joggers with zip pockets and a subtle tonal print of the faction's phase energy ripple.

Each piece is available as a standalone or part of a bundle. The best part? They're all printed on demand, so sizes from XS to 3XL stay in stock.

Where to Buy Exclusive Character Apparel

Official licensing is limited, so many fans turn to curated indie stores that capture the game's aesthetic. For 2026, the most reliable source is our own ZZZ Merch Hub - a fan-operated store that aggregates designs from multiple artists. Every item undergoes a strict design review to ensure it captures the character's spirit without infringing on trademarks.

Other options include:

  • Etsy shops - Great for one-of-a-kind prints, but be careful with sizing. Always check the fabric weight.
  • Redbubble - Wide variety, but print quality varies. Look for designs with high contrast and clean lines.
  • Independent artist sites - Many ZZZ fan artists sell directly. You get a connection to the creator and often higher quality prints.

Pro tip: When buying fan merch, always verify the seller's return policy. Print-on-demand items can't be restocked, so make sure you choose the right size.

Quality and Comfort of Zenless Zone Zero Hoodies and Tees

As a print specialist, I get asked: 'Why does my hoodie pill after three washes?' The answer is fabric quality. Here's what to look for in ZZZ-inspired apparel.

Hoodies - The best ZZZ hoodies use a 400gsm (grams per square meter) cotton-polyester blend. Heavier fabric means the print holds up better. Avoid 250gsm or lower - they shrink and pill quickly. Also, check if the fleece is brushed inside. That extra step makes it softer.

Tees - Look for 180gsm ringspun cotton or a triblend (cotton-polyester-rayon). Triblend feels like a worn-in tee from day one. The print should be direct-to-garment (DTG) or screen printed. DTG is great for detailed designs, but screen printing lasts longer for solid blocks of color.

Other fabrics - For track jackets and joggers, nylon or polyester with a moisture-wicking finish is ideal for active wear. Canvas totes should be 8oz or heavier.

I've tested dozens of samples, and the best ZZZ merch uses ultra-cotton blends that resist shrinking. Look for pre-shrunk labels.

Fan Favorites: Most Popular New Character Designs

We polled our community of 12,000+ followers on which new character designs they'd most like to wear. The results were clear:

1. Lilith's Ether Sigil - The glowing teal symbol is simple but iconic. It works on everything from tees to socks. 2. Recon Agent's Tactical Gear - The intricate harness details translate into a striking back print on hoodies. 3. Faction Leader's Emblem - A geometric crest that fits perfectly on a snapback or chest pocket. 4. Bangboo Patterns - The cute robot mascots are a hit across age groups. They look great in monochrome or pastel colors.

Interestingly, 67% of respondents preferred subtle designs (small chest logos or tonal prints) over bold all-over graphics. That confirms what I've seen in my own work: fans want wearables, not costumes.

How to Choose Your Next Piece

Picking the right ZZZ new character merch comes down to three things:

  • How you wear it - If you're active or layering, go for a zip hoodie or track jacket. Casual outings call for a classic tee or crew neck.
  • Your comfort preference - Prefer soft fabrics? Triblend tees are your friend. Need warmth? A heavy fleece hoodie.
  • The design's legibility - Intricate patterns look amazing on digital screens but can become a muddy mess on fabric. Stick to designs with clear shapes and high contrast.

If you're still unsure, start with a tee. It's the most versatile piece and the lowest risk.
