UNIQLO Launches First-Ever Blue Lock UT Collection
Global apparel giant UNIQLO has released a brand new clothing line based on the hit soccer manga and anime series Blue Lock.
The new “UNIQLO x Blue Lock UT Collection” marks the very first time the popular sports series has been featured in UNIQLO’s UT graphic t-shirt range.
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 and features a range of characters throughout a variety of unique 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.
All of the T-Shirts are available in sizes ranging from XS to 4XL, and they are now available to order from the official UNIQLO online store.
