The polka dots, sleeves, and collar change color to match that of the wearer's ink, with the polka dots being lighter than the sleeves and collar. On the right side of the chest is a somewhat small Tentatek logo in black.

Trivia

The appearance and name are both a reference to the "King of the Mountains" jersey awarded in the Tour de France.
