Tips

usage

Two registers, one word: (1) the formal/legal sense — 联名 a letter, petition, or declaration is to sign it jointly; (2) the marketing sense — 联名款 / 联名系列 is a 'collab' between two brands (e.g. Supreme x Louis Vuitton). The second sense is huge in fashion and gaming and is the dominant modern usage.
