Game Over Tee
About the original
The Supreme x Yohji Yamamoto Game Over Tee is a short-sleeve cotton t-shirt featuring a front-chest 'Game Over' graphic designed by Peter Saville, the British graphic designer behind Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures sleeve and Factory Records' visual identity from 1978 onward. Yohji Yamamoto founded his namesake label in Tokyo in 1972 and has commissioned Saville for Yohji Yamamoto Pour Homme lookbooks and graphics since the late 1990s. The FW20 Supreme capsule marked Saville's first Supreme appearance, and the Game Over artwork was drawn specifically for this release alongside the Scribble, Wolf, This Was Tomorrow, and Logo tees. Because the Saville graphic is exclusive to this capsule, the tee has no off-the-shelf original equivalent; it retailed at $54 and released September 17, 2020 in black and white.

He launched his women's label Y's in 1977 and showed his first Paris collection under his own name in 1981 alongside Rei Kawakubo, a debut credited with introducing deconstructed, predominantly black tailoring to European fashion. Yamamoto founded Y-3 with Adidas in 2002, one of the first sustained sportswear-luxury partnerships, and continues to design his main line, Y's, and Pour Homme collections. His work is held in the collections of the Met and the V&A. Supreme collaborated with Yohji Yamamoto on outerwear and tailoring.
