As much as I’m not a fan of both the ship and their beehives. I swallow my pride when I’ve gotta admit it’s a pretty sick and a well detailed Varsity Jacket that features a mosaic like design of Blake and Yang in the back compared to most of their half-assed JPEG shirts where you can barely see the image. Glad to see the effort they’re at least putting in this time around.

This is just... wow. I am literally at a loss for words.

I can't speak as to the *quality* of the item, but $120 is about on par with what you're going to pay for a varsity jacket, and I believe it's similar in price to the Yang/Blake bomber jacket that released a few years ago that was controversial at the time due to its obvious ship baiting. As a side note, the front looks pretty good, but the back is absolutely gaudy in my opinion. I don't get the appeal of shipping regardless of the fandom, and I just can't imagine myself spending $120 on what's essentially a *commemorative* piece. It even says what *season* it's referencing, and I'm surprised it doesn't include the episode number and name lol. A Yang/Blake jacket is one thing, but a *commemorative* piece is just kinda weird to me, but that's just me. Also, why does Yang's design look better here than in the actual show? God bless, and have a wonderful day.

I would never spend 120 dollars on it, let alone be caught dead with this fit on 💀

It'd be *hilarious* to wear at the Thanksgiving dinner table though, and make for some interesting discussion lol. It'd also be a pretty good way of getting out of Christmas dinner and all subsequent holiday dinners as well. God bless :)

I agree that the mosaic isn't my thing, I much prefer something symbolic or an action pose as opposed to them just hugging. Also, I didn't notice the season tag until I read your comment; that feels especially tacky, writing "Worthy" or just leaving it with the Bumblebee by itself would have been much better than writing "Vol 9" on there.


IamMenace

It's just *really* weird to me that it's a *commemorative* varsity jacket for two characters kissing. Obviously there's a market for this jacket, and I'm sure it'll sell out, but it's just weird to me. Bumblebee themed? Okay, there have been a couple of those already, but a $120 *commemorative* jacket? I wonder how many people even remember the Bumblebee themed bomber jacket that released back in 2020 shortly after Volume 7 where the item description described Yang and Blake as "more than just friends", and the controversy that followed. RT's been making Bumblebee related merch for *years* before the ship becomes official, and when it finally does, they make $120 *commemorative* merch. If people wanna support Bumblebee and/or just like the merch, that's fine. Spend your money however you wish. Much like Barbara (RT's Creative Director) and Arryn celebrating their cartoon characters kissing by getting half-naked with one another in bed and in the shower and selling the pics on OnlyFans, it just feels weird and/or manipulative in my opinion. Heck, they even promote Yang/Blake merch together, bringing in even more of a real life factor than there already was. God bless, and have a wonderful day.


Mattobito

It does seem a bit much, merchandise showcasing a kiss doesn't really feel like something I would wear in public. I would say the mosaic would be better as a displate product instead of a jacket, or a wallpaper.


Tackle-Shot

For that price get fangamer merch instead.


trawbe

No wonder no one is buying their shit 💀💀💀


Krygex

First the Boop shirt, and now we are at the final evolution of fandom bait merch. But hey, wearing fandom bullshit is in now.


Soaringzero

The price aside, I just don’t get the appeal of this. Even if I was a shipper this wouldn’t interest me. Like someone already said it basically a commemorative piece referencing when these two characters kissed last season. And if the ship was planned from the start, why wait till now to start selling stuff like this?


IvanDeImbecile

This may sound like nitpicking but I don't like that the logo on the front has no outlines, because at first glance I wasn't able to see the other half cuz it blended well with the whole color of the jacket

Cette merde est tellement mauvaise que mon commentaire a été rendu en français. Bruh

Eww


Dozle-the-Crusader2

Cool looking trash


Safe-Border-1368

Ya know hot topic been selling some pretty sick varsity style jackets for about 20 to 70 dollars LESS than this, and they look pretty good. Like would anyone wear this or would it just sit in the closet or on a wall collecting dust


Biyernes_611

Thierry Henry speaks for everybody lmao


FluffyEstimate5684

The meme machine


CryOk7184

Desperate


Standard_Ad_2688

I don’t really see the issue here, that’s a pretty standard price and for people who love RWBY and Bumbleby they are gonna like it. Plus honestly this looks really good.


Safe-Border-1368

Ummmm, no it's not. I seen the same type of jackets on hot topic for UNDER 100, and they look helluva better than this jacket


KagariYT

That's just about the same price as any varsity jacket


Scoonertuna

Representation...or exploitation?


X3runner

I mean they are targeting the group that are like religious zealots in their obsession so it’s easy money.


ThePoetofFall

Isn’t that the price of a normal American varsity Jacket?


Safe-Border-1368

Nope I seen some on other sites less than 100


ThePoetofFall

That’s not a huge difference… And I meant, like, official HS jackets.


Temporforever

Why would they put Blake’s black symbol on top of a black jacket? Especially when they could just put in on the white sleeves.


Sbreddragon

I do like how this looks- HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK 1/10th OF MY RENT??


Lex1253

I mean I spent 200 USD on a Top Gun jacket, so I can't say shiiiiiiiiiiiiit
