The Smiths The Queen is Dead T-Shirt – Size L

A rare The Smiths, “The Queen is Dead” US Tour 86′ t-shirt. A creamy beige all over with dark royal blue and orange graphics. Perhaps more iconic now that ever before, this shirt shows Morrissey’s unhappiness with the British monarchy. Fits like a small mens L. 

Morrissey explained to NME in 1986: “I didn’t want to attack the monarchy in a sort of beer monster way but I find as time goes by this happiness we had slowly slips away and is replaced by something that is wholly grey and wholly saddening. The very idea of the monarchy and the Queen of England is being reinforced and made to seem more useful than it really is. The whole things seems like a joke. A hideous joke.”
