McLaren Unveils New Merch Collections for US Grand Prix and 2025 Constructors' Championship
McLaren has released two new merchandise lines to coincide with the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin and to commemorate their 2025 Constructors' Championship victory. These collections offer fans a variety of apparel and celebratory items, reflecting the team's presence at the Circuit of the Americas and their recent triumph.
The Austin-themed collection includes t-shirts in 'egret' and 'phantom' colors, adorned with stripes on the sleeves. A 'burnt orange' hoodie featuring a prominent 'Austin!' wordmark and a relaxed 'egret' sweatshirt complete this capsule. The designs incorporate Texas-inspired elements, with a stylized cowboy boot graphic appearing on several pieces. These items are positioned at a premium price point, with t-shirts at \u00a350, the hoodie at \u00a375, and the sweatshirt at \u00a370.
In parallel, the significantly more extensive 2025 Constructors' Champions Collection offers an array of items, including t-shirts, polo shirts, hoodies, jackets, and a commemorative poster. The primary color scheme, as anticipated, features the iconic papaya orange, alongside black and white options. A notable design element is a list of locations where the team secured championship-deciding victories, with the 2025 Singapore Grand Prix being the most recent addition to this illustrious roster.
McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown expressed his immense satisfaction with the team's consecutive victories, describing them as the realization of long-held dreams and the culmination of extensive effort. He acknowledged the immense challenge of achieving such success, particularly after witnessing it as a young spectator, now appreciating the monumental effort involved. Brown emphasized that this achievement is a testament to the entire McLaren team's dedication and skill.
The Champions Collection also comes with a higher price tag, with t-shirts starting at \u00a340 and a longline padded jacket priced at \u00a3142 (originally \u00a3190). A standout item is a \u00a368 poster, which beautifully illustrates this historic moment by featuring both drivers, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, alongside a graphic highlighting the years McLaren secured the constructors' championship.
The official description for the 2025 season highlights its significance, stating that it was not merely a victory but a profound declaration. Nearly five decades after their initial constructors' title in 1974, the team added a tenth championship, underscoring McLaren's enduring legacy of innovation and excellence, from the iconic years with Senna and Prost in 1988 and 1989 through to the dominant late '90s. The 2025 campaign, it concludes, reaffirms the papaya team's position as a benchmark for winning at the pinnacle of motorsport.
