UNIQLO has announced that a new ‘SPY x FAMILY’ collection will launch as a part of the UNIQLO UT line. The release will comprise four unique T-shirt offerings that feature graphic prints of the anime’s three protagonists. The first of the shirts is a soft mint green color and has a graphic of Loid Forger, Yor Forger, and Anya Forger. The second black shirt has the popular anime title on the front, displaying the same characters on the rear with a contrasting white outline.
The last two designs feature prints of main characters Loid and Anya, the former spotlighting his character outline in red with the series’ title and a biography. The latter is a playful pastel yellow color, using Anya’s head as a peek-a-boo design that sticks out of a pocket on the chest.
The UNIQLO x SPY x FAMILY collection will debut in the U.S. on July 7 online and in stores.
