The Original 1986 Throwing Muses Logo

🖤 Handwritten by Kristin Hersh Herself

This isn't just merch - it's the actual handwriting that started it all. The iconic 1986 logo that is so familiar to us, now hand screen printed by hand, with money going directly where it always should have gone, to Hersh for her studio time.

🎨 The Beginning

This logo represents the beginning of a story, a long and difficult, but intrinsically beautiful story. Kristin Hersh's raw intensity made Throwing Muses legendary, and her passion, dedication and refusal to sell out herself, and her music, is why she is still making work just as powerful all these decades later. She has honed her craft, while still being true to the music, despite the industry's attempts to dilute and destroy it. Every Hersh purchase directly funds Kristin Hersh studio time, helping to keep her in the studio where she belongs, and to help bring us all more of these amazing musical gifts.

📏 Music is for everyone, and merch should be too (S-6XL Available)

At ElRat Designs, I want as many people as possible to be able to support the things they love. That's why we print every size up to 6XL - because every one deserves to wear their art.

🖤I am a real human

Great band, great shirt

Absolutely top quality t-shirt. Good shirt with a faithfull design of the classic 1986 Throwing Muses logo. Knowing that this helps support Kristin Hersh makes it even more impressive. Would recommend to anyone.

Now I just need to start making my way through the other logos...

Thank you so much for your kind review, and more especially thank you for helping support Kristin Hersh in the studio. It really does mean the world to her, and to me too. The more time we can give her, the more music she can give us. That seems like a fairly perfect transaction to me. El
