Iron Maiden x West Ham Away Kit Released
English heavy metal band Iron Maiden have once again teamed up with West Ham for a special football kit and training range.
The kit will not be worn in an official match
The official collaboration follows the first Iron Maiden x West Ham launch in 2019, which brought us an Iron Maiden x West Ham home shirt. The collaboration was initiated by Iron Maiden bassist Steve Harris, who has been a fan of "Hammers" for more than 50 years.

Iron Maiden x West Ham 'Away' Shirt
Officially called West Ham x Iron Maiden away kit, the shirt is based on West Ham’s away strip. The shirt features Steve’s favourite version of the famous West Ham crest. It also carries the 'hammer and bass' crest on the back, IMFC logo and 'Die With Your Boots On' wording on the sleeve.
The back of the shirt is adorned with Steve’s personal shirt number ‘11’, which the roaming left winger has worn on all Maiden football shirts through the years.
“It was incredible to see the number of Iron Maiden and West Ham fans that picked up the initial home shirt,” the heavy metal legend enthuses. “With West Ham doing so well in the Premier League right now, it feels like a nice time to put out this ‘away’ shirt. I’m so happy to carry the Maiden/West Ham partnership further… who knows, it might bring us luck for a Champions league place, you never know! COYI!”
Tracey Stratton, Licensing Manager at West Ham, adds: “We’ve had a phenomenal response to our first shirt collaboration with Iron Maiden, selling out repeat orders several times. The fans’ reactions were amazing with huge engagement on social media. We are now excited to release the ‘away’ shirt as a first run exclusive online, with further styles to follow as we continue this highly successful partnership. Come on you Irons!!”
The West Ham Iron Maiden away kit retails at £55.00. It will not be worn in an official match - it is a fashion item only.
