Trivia
- The White Tee is tied with the Blue Peaks Tee, Jogging Headband, and Pearl Tee for cheapest purchasable gear with Ink Saver (Sub) in Splatoon.
- The logo on this and the Black Tee loosely resembles the Japanese word for "squid" (いか ika) in hiragana, like the Splatoon version of the Basic Tee. Unlike the Basic Tee, however, the logos of the White and Black Tees were not changed for Splatoon 2.
- Players of the Splatoon Global Testfire who pre-ordered Splatoon were temporarily given a variant of the White Tee with a long-sleeved gray shirt underneath (similar to the Zink Layered LS) and a large ink-colored squid sticker on the front as part of a then-exclusive set of gear. Since the Global Testfire did not create save files, it did not carry over into the full game.
- Unlike the Studio Headphones and Red Hi-Horses, however, it did not become obtainable in the full game proper.
- Inkling Girl's default variant wears the White Tee in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
- The White Tee exists in real life, sold by KOG.
