Shortly after the release of the Hotline Bling music video, Drake is back with some pink gear honoring his hit ballad. Like the 1-800-HOTLINEBLING baseball cap, this OVO product is minimal in design while it makes a major statement.

Released under his [October's Very Own imprint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ovo-golf-collection), Drake's latest piece of Hotline Bling couture is a long-sleeved tee in the same pink as the single's cover art. Down the arms of each sleeve the fictional phone number '1-800-HOTLINEBLING' is written in bold white font while the recognizable [OVO owl logo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bape-x-ovo-1) is branded over the heart.

This coveted [pink tee](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-dunk-tshirts) is made of 100% cotton and features a classic fit. However, Drake fans willing to purchase this sentimental garment will come up short as it is already sold out.
