Rob Halford Launches Metal God Apparel
April 28, 2009 by Scott
Let’s be honest. No matter how much you try to be open minded, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear that Rob Halford is launching a clothing line, you might think of Gay Biker clothes. It’s hard not to because no matter how much you like the guy and Judas Priest, there is always that thought looming in the back of your mind after he came out of the closet. I don’t think of Rob Halford as “That gay dude that sings for Judas Priest”, but that’s always going to be an issue when his name is mentioned. Sadly, we all have that little bit of ignorance in the back of out minds and for people that are not fans, that is how they think of him.
Regardless of his sexual preference, Halford and Priest are still, and always will be rock and metal icons. I wouldn’t expect Halford to release a gay biker clothing line any more than I would expect Judas Priest to release a disco album. With all that said and set aside, Rob Halford’s Metal God Apparel is quite honesty a lot of great t-shirt designs, though the prices are a bit ridiculous.
Similar to the Affliction clothing line that is ever so popular and often sort of copied, Metal God Apparel offers plenty of cool T-shirt designs. Will they sell like hot-cakes? I don’t know. I don’t have a clue how well this stuff sells and it has me wondering about the Dimebag Hardware clothing line and how well that is selling these days.
Check out Metal God Apparel. T-shirts are available for pre-order starting at $54.99…and no that’s not a typo.

none of the shirt designs really jump out, and if they’re going to be sitting at $55 USD, a nice pretty penny more for my canadian ass, need to have some other designs. i mean, compared to most of the stuff that affliction and the like offers, they kind of pale in comparison.
That’s what I’m feeling. The prices are a bit outrageous in my opinion. As far as variety go, I guess you can’t expect them to make and invest in too many designs before knowing how well they’ll sell.
Way too expensive for a t-shirt.
