MANIFEST DESTINY: BAYC Charts A Course Toward Its Yacht Club Vision With Its Next Apparel Drop!

From J-PEGs to jackets! The Bored Ape Yacht Club is embracing its "Manifest" destiny in the world of apparel as it prepares to drop a new collection that leans even further into the Yacht Club aesthetic.

On Wednesday, Yuga Labs unveiled its next limited edition apparel collection, Manifest Series, marking the next chapter in the club's growing maritime inspired apparel!

  

“Last month, we set sail with Anchor Drops. Now, it’s time to introduce our Manifest Series. Kicking off with Manifest 001: Flying Colors, we’re entering a phase of apparel curated with renewed purpose and storytelling. Coming soon.”

 

 

 

 

After the club's announcement, Yuga Labs CEO Michael Figge simply tweeted, "Yacht Club."

 

 

Tonight, we don't yet know what pieces will be included in the Manifest Series, but we do know the collection is another step in Figge's broader vision to put the Yacht Club back into the Bored Ape Yacht Club through more intentional aesthetics and storytelling.

“We’ve also been thinking about what it actually means to be a Yacht Club - not just the name, but the feeling behind it,” the BAYC tweeted in April. “That’s starting to take shape. From here on out, you’ll see it show up more clearly in our apparel, our collaborations, and an aesthetic that finally does the Yacht Club name justice.”

 

Since then, the club has released a five panel hat that would fit right in at any marina or country club before following it up with its Anchor collection in collaboration with King Saladeen, featuring nautical themed tees and burgee flags.

With Anchor now in the wake and Manifest next on deck, it's becoming clear that the BAYC is charting a course for the Yacht Club!

 

The Gazette will continue to follow the BAYC's Manifest Series and will let you know when the club shares more details and how you can ape in. Stay tuned for updates!
