Appearance
The Basic Tee is a yellow short-sleeved shirt. On the front are some Inkling letters printed in a very dark yellow, and on the hem is a small purple tag with a SquidForce logo in white. On the wearer's chest is a round white pin featuring a green and yellow cartoon squid with eyes similar to those of jellyfish.

Appearance
The Basic Tee is a yellow short-sleeved shirt. On the chest is a large symbol with some Inkling text below it, both in a dark yellow. Just below this symbol is a round purple pin featuring a green and yellow cartoon squid with eyes similar to those of jellyfish. On the hem is a small triangular tag in white with a gray symbol, likely an alternate SquidForce logo. On the back of the shirt is a larger version of the cartoon squid in dark yellow, with the logo from the tag just below it and some white Inkling text below that. The eyes of the creature and the Inkling text at the bottom both glow in the dark. An Octoling version of the Basic Tee appears as the Fresh Octo Tee.

Trivia

 * The design on the Splatoon version of the Basic Tee loosely resembles the Japanese word for "squid" (いか) in hiragana, while the Splatoon 2 version resembles the same word (イカ) written in katakana. Both versions have letters that resemble the English word "squid" on the back.
 * The Black Tee and White Tee bear the the same design as the Basic Tee in Splatoon. Unlike the Basic Tee, however, their appearances remain unchanged in Splatoon 2.
 * The squid-like symbol seen on the pin and back side of both versions of the Basic Tee is a reference to the Japanese Shoshinsha mark, a symbol representing beginners. This is likely a reference to the fact that the Basic Tee is the first piece of clothing received in the game.
 * This symbol is referred to as a "Jr. Mark" when received as a mem cake in the Octo Expansion.
 * As of Version of Splatoon 2, the Basic Tee and the rest of the starting gear are the only pieces of gear that cannot have their original abilities restored if purchased through SplatNet 2, unless if ordered from another player through Murch.
 * The Splatoon version of the Basic Tee can be seen under the SRL Coat in Splatoon 2.
