Each GTA Online special crate T-shirt was a limited reward from the gold-text crate drops, and most of them were only available during a short 2014 event. Your first special crate gave the Los Santos Belle T-Shirt, and later events added beer hats and shirts with radio station logos. This list covers every special crate T-shirt and hat by event; to learn how the drops themselves worked, read How to get Special Crates.

Notes on the special crate T-shirt rewards
- The beer hats appear in your inventory right away, and the Statue of Happiness T-Shirt can be bought for free in any clothing store.
- During The Last Team Standing Update, crates spawned more often, possibly to make up for the short time the Victory Fist T-shirt was available.
- The San Andreas shirts carried the logos of radio stations from that game, and they could only be found in Crate Drops.
The Statue of Happiness T-Shirt and the Beer Hats came back in later events, and you can read how in Beer Hats and Statue of Happiness T-Shirt. For Halloween content, visit the Halloween category, and for the rest of the game see the GTA Online category.
