Call of Duty Warzone doesn't exactly lend itself to skins in the same way Fortnite does. Sure, Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg have been added as operators, but you can't truly customize your in-game self to look just the way you want as doing so would scupper your attempts to remain hidden from enemies. That doesn't mean you can't look good while you play in real life though, and now you can do so by wearing some official Call of Duty merch courtesy of Boohooman.
The British fashion brand has revealed its Retro Task Force 141 Call of Duty collection, and everything included in it is available to buy at the Boohooman site right now. Despite the capsule's creation coming about to celebrate the arrival of Warzone season two, its designs pull from Call of Duty history, taking inspiration from games as far back in the series as the original Modern Warfare, released in 2009.
Captain John Price, John 'Soap' MacTavish, and Lieutenant Simon 'Ghost' Riley, three characters long-time CoD players will be very familiar with, are at the center of the collection, hence it being named after their SAS unit, Task Force 141. The crown jewel of the collection is the varsity bomber jacket. Available in either black or green, the jacket features the game's name and a skull with shades logo on the chest, the back, and as a charm for the zip which is a nice touch.
Speaking of charms, items in Boohooman's Call of Duty collection don't only come with stuff you can wear while playing Warzone. Every purchase also includes a Retro 141 gaming charm, presumably something only those who buy from Boohooman will be able to flaunt. You don't have to spend £70 ($89) on a jacket to get that charm either. The collection also includes hoodies for as little as £30 ($38) and t-shirts for just £18 ($23).
The chance to own merch of this quality tied to your favorite games is always nice, and it appears to be the season for it. On top of Boohooman's Warzone collection, the Anti Social Social Club has released a line of Like A Dragon clothing following the success of Infinite Wealth. There are also still Metal Gear t-shirts available in Uniqlo's reissued collection, although they appear to be selling fast and there's no telling if the designs will ever be reissued again.

Masters of the Air tells the story of the Eighth Air Force’s 100th Bomb Group, also known as the Bloody Hundredth, which used its fleet of B-17 heavy bombers to cut a swathe of destruction from the English Channel to Berlin during World War II. The nine-part Apple TV Plus miniseries, which airs its final episode Friday, is basically everything that baby Charlie — his nose pressed against the pages of obscure history books all throughout middle school — could’ve ever hoped for. But, now that it’s over, I think I’ve found a way to extend the experience just a little further thanks to B-17 Flying Fortress Leader, an excellent solitaire board game from Dan Verssen Games.
