Shovel Knight, the beloved retro-inspired platformer from Yacht Club Games, has captured the hearts of Nintendo Switch players and indie enthusiasts worldwide since its debut in 2014.
Renowned for its pixel-perfect gameplay and nostalgic charm, the Shovel Knight series has garnered both critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase.
In a celebration of the franchise’s enduring appeal, Yacht Club Games has now partnered with Insert Coin Clothing to launch an exclusive Shovel Knight apparel collection, available for pre-order just in time for fans looking to spruce up their wardrobes.
The newly announced Shovel Knight clothing line offers fans a range of themed merchandise inspired by the game’s iconic visuals and characters.
Insert Coin Clothing, recognized for its high-quality collaborations with video game properties, has curated a selection of five officially licensed items.
Each piece draws direct inspiration from the classic adventure platformer, adding a wearable touch of gaming nostalgia.
Highlights of the collection include the campfire jumper (£64.99), a cozy homage to Shovel Knight’s memorable resting scenes; a blue and grey 'Raglan' t-shirt emblazoned with the series' logo (£29.99); and a set of comfortable pyjama bottoms (£29.99) adorned with the pixelated protagonist.
For fans looking to accessorize, the lineup also features socks (£5.99) showcasing the game's signature sprite, and a collectible enamel pin—a must-have for those wanting to represent the titular knight on bags, jackets, or lanyards.
According to Insert Coin Clothing, pre-orders for the Shovel Knight apparel collection are now live, with shipping scheduled for late April to early May 2025.
This timely release aligns with renewed excitement in the franchise, as Shovel Knight is slated for a cameo in Playtonic’s upcoming title, Yooka-Replaylee, and the anticipated Shovel of Hope 'Deluxe' edition continues to build anticipation in the Nintendo community.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Insert Coin Clothing representatives noted that their design team sought to capture "the adventurous spirit and enduring charm of Shovel Knight," ensuring that each item holds a special meaning for fans of the series.
Yacht Club Games’ commitment to the Nintendo Switch platform and its ongoing partnerships further underscore the staying power of Shovel Knight in gaming culture and merchandise.
Since its release, Shovel Knight has consistently maintained its popularity on the Nintendo Switch eShop, boasting millions of copies sold worldwide and a reputation as one of indie gaming’s defining titles.
The new apparel collection serves as both a tribute to the game's legacy and a celebration of the creativity within the developer community.
