Beams made the MAMA Awards merch look like secondhand band tees

Beams released six pieces of official merchandise for the 2026 MAMA Awards in Osaka, with graphics drawn from band, festival and promo tees.

Beams has made the official merchandise for the 2026 MAMA Awards, and the collection is built to read as secondhand. The retailer's November 4 announcement names six pieces under the title DEAR VINTAGE COLLECTION and says the graphics come from band tees, festival tees and corporate promotional shirts. The awards logo is set the way a tour or album print would be, not the way event branding usually is.

The show runs November 20 and 21 at Kyocera Dome Osaka, and the sale is staggered. The Beams online store takes orders from November 7 at 18:00 to November 12, and every 15,000 yen spent before tax earns one entry to a red carpet draw. General online sale runs from November 13 at 11:00 to November 21. Beams Namba sells from November 14, and the official merchandise booth opens at the dome on both show days.

Prices are in yen and include tax. The logo T-shirt is 6,930, white on a heavyweight cotton body. The game shirt is 12,100 in light grey, with a two-tone B across the back. The black zip hoodie is 15,840, unisex, sized M and L. Among the small goods, the off-white canvas tote is 5,280 and has a D-ring on the handle, the navy cap is 6,050, and the navy bandana is 1,980, printed edge to edge.

None of it reproduces a particular shirt. The six pieces take the format, and the format is the part anyone can print. On the index, the real thing is scarce. Beams returns 212 listings. A tour tee search returns 90, and the top results are "World Tour" prints from Stussy, Givenchy and Carhartt WIP, none of them a dated shirt from an actual tour.
