The Beatles Music T-Shirts

The Beatles T-shirts feature album covers, logos and photos of the band made up of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The band was formed in Liverpool in 1960 and broke up in 1970, so the designs span ten years, from the clubs of Hamburg to the album Let It Be. The designs you'll see most often are the zebra crossing from the Abbey Road cover, the logo with the extended letter T and the yellow submarine from the film Yellow Submarine. Short-sleeved unisex T-shirts make up most of the range, alongside women's T-shirts, crop tops, T-shirt dresses, long-sleeved T-shirts and baseball jerseys.

Beatlemania or the studio albums: which era should you choose?

• The early days (1960 – 1962): the Cavern Club in Liverpool and the Star-Club in Hamburg, where the band played regularly even before their first album.
• Beatlemania (1963 – 1966): the albums Please Please Me and With The Beatles, whose cover is a black-and-white photo of four faces in half-shadow, the first US concert in Washington, the show at Shea Stadium in New York, the concerts at the Budokan hall in Tokyo and the films A Hard Day's Night and Help!
• The studio years (1965 – 1970): Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, the White Album, Abbey Road and Let It Be, plus designs based on the songs Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, All You Need Is Love and Back in the U.S.S.R.

The logo with the extended T (the drop T) was created in 1963 as the lettering on Ringo Starr's bass drum, and it is still the band's official logo today. The green apple belongs to Apple, the label the Beatles founded in 1968. Rooftop designs recall their last public performance, on the roof of the Apple building in London in January 1969.

Which size and colour of The Beatles T-shirt should you order?

The Beatles T-shirts are made in sizes S to 2XL, and some designs also come in XS, 3XL or 4XL. The unisex cut is straight, women's T-shirts are narrower at the waist, a crop top ends above the waist and a T-shirt dress is a longer T-shirt that you wear as a dress. You'll find the measurements for every T-shirt in the size chart from the manufacturer, Rock Off or Hybris Merch; compare them with the width and length of a T-shirt that fits you well.

Almost half of the T-shirts are black, and the others are white, grey, navy, sand or red. Most are made of cotton, while part of the collection uses recycled cotton and polyester fibres. The Budokan Set List design, with the list of songs from the Tokyo concerts, is printed on the back, and roughly one in five of the band's T-shirts has a print on both the front and the back. You'll also find the same Abbey Road design or the logo on The Beatles sweatshirts; mugs, posters, caps and other band merchandise can be found under The Beatles merch.
