Origin of the Berserkers

Origin of the Berserkers

Did you know the term "Berserker" comes from the legendary Norse warriors who fought with such ferocity, it was as if they were possessed by the gods themselves?

 

In ancient times, Berserkers were known for entering a trance-like state during battle, giving them seemingly superhuman strength and endurance. The word "Berserkr" translates to "bear-shirt" or "bare-shirt," referencing the fact that these warriors often fought without armor, wearing the skins of wild animals like bears or wolves to channel their primal fury.

 

Driven by the forces of Odin, these warriors embodied pure, untamed power - something we strive to capture in our designs at BERSERKR.

 

Our clothing is inspired by the courage, fearlessness, and deep connection to Norse mythology that these legendary figures represent. Whether you’re pushing your limits in life or just making a bold statement, our gear lets you channel the spirit of the ancient Berserkers 🇳🇴⚔️
