The Cream of the Crop Pro Wrestling Button Up Hawaiian Shirt version 2

About the Cream of the Crop Hawaiian Shirt v2 Purple

Snap into a Slim Jim — and a louder color — with the Cream of the Crop Pro Wrestling Button-Up Hawaiian Shirt v2, the purple-and-gold variant of our top-selling Macho Man tribute. Where the original Hawaiian leans cream and pastel, this v2 ramps up the saturation with a deep royal-purple body, a denser all-over print of cowboy-hat silhouettes, slim spicy snack sticks, and gold-lightning crown bursts that look hand-painted onto polyester. Gold-tone front buttons, a structured camp collar, breathable woven fabric. If the original Cream of the Crop polo is your church-day fit, the v2 Hawaiian is your tailgate, ringside, and pool-deck weapon.

Why pro wrestling fans love this v2 variant

Casual fans recognize “Cream of the Crop” from one Slim Jim commercial. Real fans recognize it as Randy Savage’s signature self-description from the 1990s — the phrase he used in promo after promo to set himself apart from the rest of the WWE locker room. This v2 purple Hawaiian doubles down on the Macho King aesthetic, going louder and bolder than the cream-tone original. Wear it to ringside seats at SmackDown, to a backyard barbecue, to a Slim Jim run at the gas station, or to a wrestling pay-per-view watch party with the boys. Bestseller status on AnimeBape with hundreds of US fans rocking it confirms the v2 is one of the most-loved Macho Man Hawaiian shirts on the market — oh yeah.

Design and fabric details

The all-over print is dye-sublimated edge to edge, which means the royal purple body, snack-stick browns, cowboy-hat creams, and gold-lightning highlights stay vivid wash after wash — no peeling iron-on lettering like the cheap wrestling shirts on other sites. The fabric is a smooth, lightweight polyester woven that drapes like rayon and wicks moisture on hot ring-walk nights. Gold-tone front buttons, a slim camp collar, a single chest pocket for sunglasses or a ringside promo card, and short sleeves with a clean hem. Unisex relaxed cut, distinguishable from the original 77522 by its purple body and denser print.

• Fabric: 95% polyester / 5% spandex moisture-wicking weave
• Print: Dye-sublimation all-over print (front, back, sleeves)
• Closure: Gold-tone front buttons, camp collar, short sleeves
• Care: Machine wash cold inside out, hang dry, no bleach

How to style your Macho Man v2 Hawaiian

Open it over a plain white tee with raw denim shorts and white sneakers for an off-duty wrestling-fan summer fit. Layer it open over a cream long-sleeve henley in fall for a vintage 1990s arena vibe. For a wrestling pay-per-view watch party, pair it with cargo shorts and a baseball cap to lean fully into the Macho Man persona without going full costume. If you already own the original cream Cream of the Crop polo, this purple v2 Hawaiian is the loud-vacation answer to it. It also reads great with our anime basketball shorts if you want a louder full-print fit.

Sizing and fit

Sizes run S through 5XL in a relaxed unisex camp-collar Hawaiian cut. The shoulders sit naturally and the body has enough room to layer over a tee without feeling boxy. Sleeve length hits mid-bicep. Total length covers the waistband on most builds. If you wear muscle around the chest, like the Macho King himself, size up one for ringside-friendly room. A full size chart is available on the product page.

Frequently asked questions

How is the v2 different from the original Cream of the Crop Hawaiian?
The original (#77522) has a cream-tone base with pastel motifs. This v2 has a deep royal-purple body and a denser all-over print with bolder gold-lightning highlights. Same Macho Man tribute, louder color story.

Is this an official WWE or Slim Jim licensed shirt?
This is an AnimeBape fan-art tribute to Randy Savage’s “Cream of the Crop” Slim Jim era, designed and sold by AnimeBape. It is not a WWE or Slim Jim licensed product.

Will the purple and gold print fade after washing?
No. The artwork is dye-sublimated into the polyester weave, so the purple body, cowboy-hat creams, and gold-lightning bursts stay vivid wash after wash. Turn inside out, wash cold, and hang dry.

Does AnimeBape ship to the US?
Yes. Standard US shipping is 3 to 5 business days and is free on US orders over $59. Expedited shipping is available at checkout.

Can I return it if the fit is wrong?
Yes. Unworn shirts in original condition can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery. Contact AnimeBape support and we will sort it fast.
