Rugby shirts with crests and woven name tags

The two rugby shirts are the heart of the collection. Each pairs a bold chest stripe with a large embroidered wappen and the characters' initials, while a small woven name tag on the sleeve adds a proper sportswear finish. Chiikawa and Hachiware wear the classic off-white and wine-red colourway with a dark navy collar, and Usagi and Momonga take a fresh saxe blue with sunny yellow trim.

Knit cardigans with sagara-embroidered initials

For cooler days, the College knit cardigans add a cosy letterman feel. On the natural cardigan, Chiikawa and Momonga cling to their own fluffy sagara-embroidered initials, joined by a small knit-cap print wappen. The navy version shows Hachiware and Usagi dancing beside their initials, finished with a pennant-style patch and striped sleeve bands.

Campus T-shirts and fold-away eco bags

The white TRAINING T-shirt shows the trio warming up for practice, while the black college-notebook design gathers the whole cast in a doodled campus layout. Three ripstop eco bags complete the set: a beige ONIGIRI UMA!! design, a black college-notebook print and a natural all-over initial pattern. Each measures about 68 cm tall and 37 cm wide, folds neatly into its inner pocket and clips on with a carabiner.
