Mark the milestone in the Metallica T-Shirt: 40th Anniversary Forty Years in black soft-style cotton — officially licensed Metallica merchandise commemorating the band's four-decade run with a back-print anniversary graphic.

The band formed in Los Angeles in October 1981 with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich placing the classified ad that put the group together, and the 40th-anniversary graphics released across 2021 pulled the milestone into an official piece of tour merchandise. This design puts the forty-years callout centre-back so the piece reads properly from behind.

Black colourway on a soft-style cotton blank, standard unisex cut, short sleeves. Back-print detail sized to sit centre between the shoulder blades; pairs cleanly with jeans or over a hoodie in colder months.
