Squid Fashion Contest 2015
On 2015-05-21, Famitsu magazine held a competition, for readers to submit designs for a chance to have the design added to. On 2015-06-25 the winner was announced, with over 800 entries received. The winning design was based off a traditional Japanese chef outfit and was added to Splatoon as the Traditional Headband, Traditional Apron and the Traditional Sandals in Version. Also, the development staff of Splatoon and the staff at Famitsu selected three runners-up each. The ones selected by the Splatoon developers received a poster with signatures from the team, while the ones selected by Famitsu received a poster by Takahashi Kino, the author of the Mellow Squid 4-Panel Comic.

Squid Fashion Contest 2017
