Before geek shirts were the norm, before movie styles were popular, even before ironic humour was worn with pride, there were Music shirts. Nothing defines a decade, a generation or the culture of a chosen period more than what they listened to and this in, turn influenced what they wore.
At 8Ball we have delved deep into the vaults and reproduced some of the most iconic shirt designs that have ever graced a stage. Do you want a classic Thin Lizzy image? We got it. Perhaps your tastes are more modern and you like Panic at the disco? No problem.
It’s not just the music that will live forever, it’s the style. Musicians don’t just influence the sounds of an era; they create the style. The Sex Pistols brought punk to the front of the nation’s mind and out into the streets. Kurt Cobain may have only been around for a short time, but his style is etched into our culture for eternity. This is what influence our “As worn by…” range. Where we create some of the best shirts that have ever been worn by celebrities. From Motorhead to the Beastie Boys, Sex pistols to Debbie Harry.
Has there ever been an instrument as innately cool as the electric guitar? Sure, there was probably a time when the harpsichord was considered cool but we all know that Beethoven and co. would have been electric guitar players given the option. This cool t-shirt features a graphic showing many of the most famous guitars in the world, along with the slogan 'Pick Your Weapon' (pick, geddit???). Whether you are something of an axe master yourself or you just love guitar music, you will look cool in this!
WHY IS THERE A PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOME COLOUR OPTIONS?
Garments which have white ink as part of their print are created using a more complex process and are therefore more expensive to produce. We have decided to price this product accordingly, making the colour options which do not utilise white ink cheaper for our customers.

I liked the way you kept me in touch with the progress of the order, you kept me in the loop.
This is feedback: I sent these direct to my friend for his birthday, so I haven't see the T shirts but he is happy with them. Would it be possible to offer a service where the purchaser can send them as a gift to a friend and the bill is not included in the package?
