FORSE CLUB × Umamusume Forever Young is on sale: two-sided tees and zip hoodies
Released at noon Japan time on October 25, the Forever Young collaboration offers JPY8,250 T-shirts and JPY17,600 zip hoodies. A guide to front-and-back graphics, colours and purchase limits.
FORSE CLUB places racing culture and character illustration on opposite sides of a garment. Its collaboration with Forever Young from Umamusume: Pretty Derby went on sale through the brand’s online store at noon Japan time on October 25, 2026, equivalent to 11am in Taipei. There are just two garment types, a T-shirt and a zip-up hoodie, but the character, horse motif and lettering occupy different positions, providing more to read than a single collaboration logo.
A character and a horse each get a side of the tee
The T-shirt’s front carries a small-scale character illustration framed above and below by FOREVER YOUNG lettering. The back replaces it with FORSE CLUB’s horse motif. Fans can recognize the character first, while those less familiar with the series can approach the simpler shape on the reverse. Instead of repeating one image on both sides, the design separates two visual languages while connecting them through a shared name.

Japan’s announced T-shirt price is JPY8,250 including tax. White, burgundy and black are offered under product code FX32TE001. Dark lettering creates a clear contrast on white, while lighter text frames the character on burgundy and black. A change in ground colour alters the relationship between graphic outline and garment. The print is centred, leaving generous plain areas at the sides and allowing the main image to remain visible beneath an open overshirt.

The hoodie puts its large image on the back
The zip-up hoodie is quieter from the front, using small FOREVER YOUNG lettering on the chest and a large character graphic on the back. The central zipper retains an opening without requiring the illustration to be split in two. Both burgundy and black have an announced Japanese price of JPY17,600 including tax. The code is FX32CS001, and a small horse detail is visible on the sleeve.

Official product information specifies 100% cotton and manufacture in Vietnam for both styles, in sizes S to 2XL. In styling terms, the tee places the character directly on the chest, while the hoodie reserves the fuller image for a view from behind. Choosing between them involves more than price: it determines which side of the body carries the character and how much imagery remains visible as outer layers open or close.
Support project, production roles and purchase limits
The collaboration supports the actual racehorse Forever Young’s attempt at consecutive Breeders’ Cup Classic victories. The illustrated Umamusume is a namesake character within Cygames’ cross-media series; the two identities should be distinguished. FORSE CLUB began its branded merchandise in September this year, with HUMAN MADE responsible for manufacturing and sales. That division of work does not identify an individual designer as the character’s illustrator, nor turn an upcoming race into an already achieved result.
A small horse detail on the sleeve continues the brand’s racing theme.
The official FORSE CLUB collaboration announcement links to both product pages. Current stated limits are three T-shirts or two hoodies per purchase; consult the product pages for measurements and selectable colours. Prices above are the announced Japanese tax-inclusive yen prices. Regional pages may show another currency, and a simple exchange-rate conversion cannot guarantee the final amount paid.
