'In Memory:' features a picture of their bird logo doing the moonwalk and wearing a [Michael Jackson-inspired fedora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1). If you want to show off your love for Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, you'd better hurry because these tees will only be available until midnight ([Eastern Standard Time](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eastern-design)). **Implications** - Michael Jackson was a public figure that many consumers could empathize with due to his hugely popular body of work. Corporations looking to captivate audiences in a similar manner can utilize figureheads or mascots as representations of the company and work on campaigns to ensure the popularity of that figurehead. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.6/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Pop Culture Commemoration:** Companies can utilize public figures and popular entertainment to create commemorative products to captivate audiences. - **Brand Mascot Utilization:** Brands can use mascots and figureheads to represent their company and capture audience attention. - **Limited Edition Products:** Offering limited edition products can create a sense of urgency and exclusivity for consumers. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Similar to TeeFury, fashion companies can create commemorative items featuring mascots and figureheads of popular culture icons. - **Entertainment:** Entertainment companies can utilize beloved characters and figures to create commemorative merchandise and capitalize on their popularity. - **Gifts and Collectibles:** Companies that specialize in collectibles can appeal to consumers' desire for limited edition and exclusive items by offering commemorative products based on popular culture icons. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Pride-Honoring Bird Figurines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pride-birds.md) - [Limited-Edition Artist-Honoring Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/takashi-murakami-tee.md) - [Receipt-Inspired Graphic T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order.md) - [Music Culture-Honoring Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-tshirt.md) - [Legacy Artist-Themed T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gap-1.md) - [Viral Criminal Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/i-can-fix-him.md) - [Cult Film-Inspired Graphic Tees](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/capsule-tee.md) - [Sneaker-Inspired Graphic T-Shirts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-dunk-tshirts.md) - [Collectable Singer-Honoring Coins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/george-michael-coin.md)
