On the front on a large, circular, white background is a black and white version of the Firefin logo with an Inkling symbol in place of the fish's face. On the bottom is a tiny white tag with a much smaller Firefin logo, and on the back is Firefin's name in bright green Inkling text with black outlines. In Splatoon 3, the shirt can be changed into an oversized version using the 'Adjust Gear' feature.

Trivia
- "Fugu" means "puffer fish" in Japanese, referencing the fish in the Firefin logo.
- The Fugu Tee had been in Splatoon's data files since the original release, but was not made available until Version 2.3.0. Prior to its addition, it was called the Charcoal Puffer Tee and had a white counterpart simply called the White Puffer Tee. The NoA French name was not changed, despite the removal of the White Puffer Tee.
