Uniqlo is continuing Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebration with a second UT collection rooted in classic Gen 1 nostalgia. After spotlighting Ken Sugimori’s original artwork in its first drop, this new lineup shifts toward monochrome pixel graphics inspired by Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow.
Adult tees focus on clean, video game-style designs that longtime fans will instantly recognize. One shirt features Mewtwo on the front with a hidden Mew graphic on the back, while another uses the iconic Pokémon Red title screen across a white base. Pikachu also gets a clever pocket tee, showing its evolution theme with a hidden Raichu detail inside.
Kanto’s Gym Leaders also play a major role in the capsule. A Pokémon Gym-themed tee includes one Pokémon from each of the eight original Gym Leaders across the chest. Meanwhile, all eight Kanto Gym badges appear on the left sleeve, adding another nod to the franchise’s early handheld era.
Kids’ styles bring more color into the collection, referencing how the original games appeared across Game Boy and Game Boy Color. The kids’ Pikachu tee includes three Pokémon Yellow sprites on the chest, each showing a different mood, plus a Red and Blue-era Pikachu sprite on the back. Other kids’ designs include Gengar, a blue Pokémon Red title screen tee, and a full-party shirt featuring Magikarp, Psyduck, Snorlax, Pikachu, Eevee, and Dragonite.
The second Uniqlo UT x Pokémon 30th Anniversary collection releases in late July or early August, depending on the region. Fans can expect the lineup to launch through Uniqlo stores and the brand’s website.
