The most famous t-shirts in music

Wearing a band t-shirt is a badge of honor, a way to proudly display what great taste you have in music. While hipsters have tried to appropriate some of them in recent years, you'll notice that the old lineups from the '70s-'90s still hold sway.

I have chosen some models that are still going strong and will be around for many years to come.

Ramones

Ramones t-shirts have become a fashion icon since the beginning and are still in the top. The design was created in the 70s by the New York artist Arturo Vega. t-shirts_with_music

Nirvana

In the 90s it was very difficult to find a teenager who did not own a Nirvana t-shirt. This was created by Kurt during the Nevermind sessions, he took the acid house emblem of the smiley face and completely mutilated it with the famous reverse of "flower sniffin kitty pettin baby kissin corporate rock whores". This t-shirt is still popular among teenagers and adults.

Smashing Pumpkins

Widely worn by the band's frontman Billy Corgan during their 1996 tour supporting Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, it was originally made by a skate company. The band eventually bought the rights for themselves: the shirt remains a rock classic.

Wham!

In the 80s, t-shirts with messages were born thanks in part to the band Wham and their "Choose Life" t-shirt. The design was created by the famous Katharine Hamnett and it was a very large and wide t-shirt. Its promotion took place in the video of the band Wham "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go" and was a real success.

Frankie says Relax

The Frankie Says Relax t-shirt was created in 1984 when the BBC banned the Frankie Goes to Hollywood hit "Relax" because it was too explicit to be public. After this event, sales increased significantly.

AC/DC

One of the most perfect logos ever, perfect for t-shirt printing. There are several versions of it, but the one in the picture remains even today the most original and simplest

Run-DMC

Like AC/DC, the hip-hop legends have benefited from a truly iconic logo. Clean, simple and effortless, this will be worn as long as hip hop continues to exist.

The famous t-shirt with lips and tongue was used by the Rolling Stones in the 70s to symbolize Mick Jagger's gestures in concerts. This design gained momentum very quickly in the world of rock, being worn to this day.

The t-shirt design was never on the cover of any album until Guns N' Roses released Greatest Hits in 2004. The logo is in fashion even nowadays.
