Trivia
- The Retro Gamer Jersey is tied with the Camo Zip Hoodie for most expensive gear with Quick Respawn in Splatoon but not Splatoon 2, because of the addition of the Tea-Green Hunting Boots.
- Even though the Tea-Green Hunting Boots do not make an appearance yet in Splatoon 3, the Squid Satin Jacket is now the most expensive gear with Quick Respawn.
- The Retro Gamer Jersey is the most expensive gear by Zink in the Splatoon series.
- The Retro Gamer Jersey's design is based on that of the Family Computer, the Japanese version of the Nintendo Entertainment System. This is directly referenced in its Japanese name, "FC Jersey".
- The Retro Gamer Jersey is called a jersey in spite of the fact that it is clearly a jacket.
