UNIQLO Announces First-Ever Blue Lock UT Collection
Global apparel giant UNIQLO is teaming up with the hit soccer manga Blue Lock for a brand new collaborative clothing line.
The upcoming “UNIQLO x Blue Lock UT Collection” marks the very first time the popular sports series has been featured in the brand’s graphic t-shirt lineup.
Blue Lock is an incredibly successful sports manga series written by Muneyuki Kaneshiro and illustrated by Yusuke Nomura that has sold over 50 million copies worldwide.
The series follows a ruthless training program designed to create the ultimate egotistical striker for the Japanese national soccer team.
Three hundred talented high school forwards are isolated within a state-of-the-art facility and forced to fiercely compete against one another to survive elimination.
Only one player can emerge victorious to lead Japan to World Cup glory, while the losers are permanently banned from ever representing their country.
The franchise has grown tremendously over the years, spawning a highly successful animated television adaptation, stage plays, and a theatrical film release.
This new apparel partnership celebrates the intense competitive spirit of the series through a variety of unique visual designs.
Fans can enjoy special original illustrations created exclusively for this crossover alongside graphics blending main characters with thematic elements from the story.
The full lineup of graphic t-shirts includes the following designs:
- Egoism Group T-Shirt
- U-20 Japan vs. Blue Lock Eleven T-Shirt
- Seishiro Nagi T-Shirt
- Rin Itoshi T-Shirt
- Michael Kaiser T-Shirt
All five variations are priced at an affordable 1,990 yen (approx. $13 USD / £10 GBP) each.
There will be a wide range of sizing options to choose from, as all of the T-Shirts will be manufactured in sizes ranging from XS to 4XL.
The clothing line is currently scheduled to launch in late May 2026 and will be available in physical stores and via the official UNIQLO online store.
