anyone who has been to a protomen<\/a> show will know that the line for the band’s merch booth is often as long as the line for the show itself. over the years we’ve enjoyed experimenting with different ways to convert the band’s complex record sleeve artwork into a set of simpler graphic treatments more suited for clothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

every so often we put our human heads together with their robot heads and make something particularly great. case in point: the original, 2009, charcoal, “act II: the father of death” t-shirt\u2014whilst almost in absolute pieces\u2014caspar still wears. other shirts of note include the original “keep quiet” and “breaking out” shirts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

the new “the fight” sweatshirt you see above, however, is our favourite piece of protomen merch to date. the image on the shirt being in part the work of the undeniable john delucca<\/a>. we picked one up at the protomen’s 20th anniversary show<\/a> in nashville back in april, and even the folks here in berlin keep asking how to get one. the clincher being that aside from the graphics on the front, it’s remarkably soft and comfortable. the band found a sweatshirt fabric for this one that kinda defies belief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

to that end we wanted to post a photograph of it here to raise further awareness of its tacit excellence. should you want to get one at any point, you can do so here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
