There have been a series of new product drops in celebration of Big Mac's 50th anniversary from McDonald's, and the latest one is a t-shirt capsule. Japanese retail label Uniqlo worked alongside the fast food chain in creating a celebratory capsule. The two worked together on series of t-shirts adorned with graphics that pay homage to the iconic burger.
The selection of t-shirts boast the color tones of red, yellow, neutral gray and white, as a nod to McDonald's classic hues. There are graphics adorning the shirts that reference the Big Mac jingle and its half-centennial. Japanese consumers will also receive a Big Mac coupon when they purchase a t-shirt that provides 90% off their meal. The commemorating capsule will be available later this month online on Uniqlo Japan.
