Some fans buy the ticket. Members wear the crest.

This heavy metal shirt for men carries the Split Shield Member Crest, an original RaZits badge for fans who have stood in more crowds than they can count. It's a fitting gift for the friend whose loyalty to loud music earned him a membership long ago.

The design: a member's crest with a split shield

A heraldic shield takes the center, framed by a riveted steel rim, its field split straight down the middle into bright orange on the left and deep maroon on the right, both weathered and darkening toward the point. At its heart sits a silver spiked-star emblem with a swirled round orb in the middle and small flame-like points beneath, while tiny star-shaped studs dot the corners.

Crossed sword blades fan out behind the shield, two tips on each side, with their wrapped grips showing at the lower left and right. Gold five-point stars line up above the shield and curve in a small arc below it, four-point sparkles flash at either side, and scattered gold dots fill the space between.

A two-word heavy-metal heading in tan condensed capitals crowns the crest, and a tan scroll banner with folded orange ends runs across the bottom carrying a single word, MEMBER, cut out so the shirt color shows through the letters. The distressed, vintage finish gives it the look of an old fan-club patch, a badge of honor forged for loyalty and loudness. There's no guitar, skull or band logo, just a crest that tells the room you belong to the loud crowd.

A heavy metal shirt in heavier cotton with a relaxed cut

• 100% ring-spun cotton, with the yarn twisted tight and fine, in a heavier 6.1 oz/yd² (206.8 g/m²) fabric
• Garment-dyed, which means the whole shirt is dyed after it's sewn
• A relaxed fit with a little extra room through the body
• A wide 7/8″ collar finished with two rows of stitching for a neat neckline
• Woven tape runs along the neck and shoulder seams for extra durability
• Two rows of stitching finish the armholes, sleeves and bottom hem for a clean edge

Who it's for

For metalheads with a drawer full of tour shirts, festival regulars who still keep their ticket stubs, and anyone who loves old-world heraldry with a louder edge. Wear it to a club show, a festival weekend, a night at the pub or a casual Friday. It suits a metal-loving friend's birthday, Father's Day, the holidays, or a welcome-to-the-club gift before someone's first big show.

Quick answers

What size should I order?

Lay a tee that fits you well flat, measure its width and length, and compare them with the size guide next to the size options, where the sleeve is measured from the center back of the collar.

Is this official band merch?

No. It's original RaZits art with no link to any band, game or festival. The heading and the MEMBER banner make it a crest for the whole metal crowd rather than one group's logo.

Which shirt shades show the crest best?

Darker shades make the tan lettering and gold stars pop the most. On the lightest and orange-toned shirts the contrast drops, and the orange half of the shield blends in a little, though every part of the crest stays visible. Each shade has its own photos to compare.

Is anything printed on the back?

No. The chest crest is the only print, and the back stays blank.

How do I care for it?

Wash it cold and inside out, keep bleach away, then tumble it dry on low or let it hang dry.
