Kirari: I’d try the purple-billed cap with a simple outfit—the green accents could carry the whole look. That’s the piece I’d want to style first.

Nea: Shinji’s striped hoodie under the logo T-shirt is such a small, everyday detail. I’d like to linger over that imagined afternoon in Tokyo-3.

Unit-01 colors on T-shirts, a jacket and a cap

The T-shirts combine Unit-01 artwork with Hard Rock Cafe’s circular logo in purple and green. The souvenir jacket pairs silver-gray sleeves with a large Unit-01 graphic on the back, while the cap carries the color scheme through a purple bill and green accents.

All prices listed include tax:

  • Unit-01 logo T-shirt: ¥9,570, sizes S–XXL
  • Unit-01 souvenir jacket: ¥66,000, sizes S–XXL
  • Unit-01 logo cap: ¥5,940

The T-shirt comes in three colors, but availability depends on the shop:

  • White: Tokyo, Uyeno-Eki Tokyo, Kyoto and Universal CityWalk Osaka
  • Gray: Tokyo, Yokohama, Osaka Namba and Universal CityWalk Osaka
  • Black: Uyeno-Eki Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto and Osaka Namba

Six pin designs, with 500 allocated to each shop

Each participating shop has its own pin design, priced at ¥3,080 and limited to 500 per shop. The Tokyo design combines Unit-01 with a circular Hard Rock Cafe emblem and green TOKYO lettering.

The logo magnet is also ¥3,080, and the logo shot glass is ¥1,980. Shot glasses are planned for mid-November. The Yokohama pin has a separate early-November release window, so its availability on November 3 is not confirmed.

A special paper shopping bag comes free with the purchase of any collaboration item, while supplies last. One side carries the combined Unit-01 and Hard Rock Cafe graphic; the other pairs the cafe logo with EVANGELION lettering.

Six Rock Shops for the November 3 holiday launch

The participating locations are Tokyo, Uyeno-Eki Tokyo, Yokohama, Kyoto, Osaka Namba and Universal CityWalk Osaka. The launch falls on a Japanese public holiday.

This is a merchandise collaboration at the Rock Shops; no collaboration dining menu has been announced. If you have a particular T-shirt color in mind, choose a shop that carries it before planning your visit.
