Merchandise retail label BoxLunch teams up with the popular manga series Dragon Ball Z to launch a set of tees in celebration of Father's Day coming up this weekend. To deliver something that can benefit two generations, the two drop a matching father and son t-shirt set. The pieces are perfect for anime lovers, with an adult-sized t-shirt and a kids' size. The adult tee is decorated with graphic designs of main characters Goku and Vegeta fighting as grown-ups. The smaller tee sees the same scenario, but with younger versions of the characters.
On top of the shirts, there are textual prints that read "LIKE FATHER" and "LIKE SON". The matching shirts are now available for purchase online at BoxLunch.
