The shirt commemorates the 50-year anniversaries of the Hammers’ 1975 FA Cup win, as well as the formation of Iron Maiden that same year.

The band commemorated the anniversary earlier this summer with a sold-out show at the Hammers’ home, London Stadium, where bassist Steve Harris wore the shirt on stage.

It features the 1975 Cup Final badge, as well as the club’s classic Claret and Blue piping around the neck and arms. The shirt also includes the Iron Maiden logo on the front, and “IMFC” on the right breast.

Elsewhere, it features Harris’s infamous Number 11 on the back, and the collaborative Hammer & Bass guitar logo with Est.1975 underneath it. It’s available to purchase here.

Speaking about West Ham’s iconic 1975 victory, Harris said: “I wasn’t at the game but what great memories. Two goals from Alan Taylor and we won it! Frank Lampard and Pat Holland were in the team who used to coach me as a junior as well! Come On You Irons!”

He went on to detail the band’s show at the London Stadium this year. “The day really was something special, and I didn’t really take it all in until much later.

“We’d been wearing that shirt in all our football matches this season across Europe, including the game at West Ham United’s amazing, redeveloped community hub ‘The Foundry’, so it just felt like the right thing to do. There were so many of our previous football shirts in the crowd – I hope fans grab this one too to remind them of that day.”

In September, the band announced a 2026 European tour, with shows in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France and Portugal. They’ve also announced a massive UK date at Knebworth for next summer, with support from The Darkness, The Hu and others.

They’ve since been announced as one of three headliners for Austria’s Nova Rock 2026 alongside The Cure and Bring Me The Horizon.

In other news, Harris recently revealed that the band contemplated calling it quits following long-time drummer Nicko McBrain’s retirement from touring.
