Deep Purple Music T-Shirts
Deep Purple T-shirts are short-sleeved unisex T-shirts with front prints featuring album covers, song titles and logos of the English hard rock band. Formed in 1968, Deep Purple are considered pioneers of hard rock and heavy metal alongside Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath. The T-shirts feature classic albums In Rock, Fireball and Machine Head, as well as songs such as Smoke On The Water, Highway Star and Speed King. Every design comes in sizes S, M, L, XL and 2XL.
Which albums and songs inspired the Deep Purple T-shirt designs?
| Design | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Hush | the band's first hit from 1968 |
| In Rock, Speed King | the 1970 album with the musicians' faces carved into rock, and its opening track |
| Fireball | the 1971 album |
| Machine Head, Smoke On The Water, Highway Star | the 1972 album and two of its tracks |
| 1972 Concert | a design featuring a concert from 1972 |
| Battle Rages On | the 1993 album The Battle Rages On |
In Rock, Fireball and Machine Head were recorded by the line-up of Ian Gillan, Ritchie Blackmore, Jon Lord, Roger Glover and Ian Paice, known to fans as Mark II. Alongside the album designs, you'll find T-shirts with the band logo in Bubble Logo, Vintage Logo and Smoke Circle versions, plus the Phoenix Rising design.
What colours and material do Deep Purple T-shirts come in?
Most Deep Purple T-shirts are black. The Machine Head design also comes on a grey T-shirt, while 1972 Concert appears on a T-shirt in the red shade Kashmir Red. The T-shirts are made from cotton, with the manufacturer listing some as Soft-Style Cotton, a trade name for cotton rather than a different fibre. The unisex cut is straight, so if you want a looser fit, choose one size up.
What other Deep Purple items go with your T-shirt?
On the Deep Purple Music Merch page, you'll also find a winter beanie with an embroidered logo, an In Rock bandana, a fabric poster, a keyring, a beer glass or a backpack. For your jacket or bag, take a look at the Deep Purple Sew-On / Iron-On Patches and Badges selection, including a large back patch and a badge featuring the In Rock album cover.
