The shirt commemorates the 50-year anniversaries of the Hammers\u2019 1975 FA Cup win, as well as the formation of Iron Maiden that same year.<\/p>\n

The band commemorated the anniversary earlier this summer with a sold-out show at the Hammers\u2019 home, London Stadium<\/a>, where bassist Steve Harris wore the shirt on stage.<\/p>\n

It features the 1975 Cup Final badge, as well as the club\u2019s classic Claret and Blue piping around the neck and arms. The shirt also includes the Iron Maiden logo on the front, and \u201cIMFC\u201d on the right breast.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, it features Harris\u2019s infamous Number 11 on the back, and the collaborative Hammer & Bass guitar logo with Est.1975 underneath it. It\u2019s available to purchase here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking about West Ham\u2019s iconic 1975 victory, Harris said:\u00a0\u201cI wasn\u2019t 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!\u201d<\/p>\n

He went on to detail the band\u2019s show at the London Stadium this year. \u201cThe day really was something special, and I didn\u2019t really take it all in until much later.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d been wearing that shirt in all our football matches this season across Europe, including the game at West Ham United\u2019s amazing, redeveloped community hub \u2018The Foundry\u2019, so it just felt like the right thing to do. There were so many of our previous football shirts in the crowd \u2013 I hope fans grab this one too to remind them of that day.\u201d<\/p>\n

In September, the band announced a 2026 European tour, with shows in Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, France and Portugal. They\u2019ve also announced a massive UK date at Knebworth for next summer<\/a>, with support from\u00a0The Darkness<\/a>,\u00a0The Hu<\/a>\u00a0and others.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ve since been announced as\u00a0one of three headliners for Austria\u2019s Nova Rock 2026 alongside The Cure and Bring Me The Horizon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In other news, Harris recently revealed that the band contemplated calling it quits following long-time drummer Nicko McBrain\u2019s retirement from touring<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Iron Maiden have teamed up with West Ham United for a double anniversary football shirt.
