A few months ago I went to see Judas Priest live in their final “Epitaph” tour. The show itself was amazing! Rob Halford did that thing where he rides his motorcycle on stage and they played all of their best songs. The merchandise, however, was not so amazing. The merchandise at shows is never amazing for me because I am a female metal fan. There were some amazing shirts there, one I really loved had every Priest album cover on it. There were others with individual album covers and general badassness. Unfortunately, they all came in size “huge male.” The only shirt that fit me was a tank top that simply said the band's name on it.
It expresses that I like the band and that's about it. I like it, but it's just not as cool as the men's shirts. The shirt my boyfriend got at the concert has your typical totally awesome heavy metal graphic on it. I am so jealous of men's clothes. The designs are so much better.
It's always the same problem. I've loved Iron Maiden since I was a five year old listening to my dad's old cassette tapes. However, I have never owned an Iron Maiden shirt because of the lack of cool designs for females. They are a bit better than just having the band name on the shirt but can't compare to the detailed men's shirts.
Lady's clothes need to be less concerned with displaying band names across chests and be more concerned with matching how awesome the men's clothes look. At the very least carry the men's shirts in smaller sizes.
