Iron Maiden have made a special edition West Ham home kit
Iron Maiden have teamed up with West Ham to create a special edition home kit.
The band's co-founder Steve Harris has been a die-hard West Ham fan since he was a child, and went to his first West Ham game at just nine years old.
During their time touring the world, many fans of Iron Maiden have also adopted Harris' support for West Ham, leading many fans to bring West Ham banners or to wear the kit at their shows.
Iron Maiden's partnership with West Ham is named after their 1983 song "Die With Your Boots On".

West Ham's Licensing Manager Tracey Stratton said, "One weekend last summer our club shop was inundated with rock fans from all across the globe, and we realised that Iron Maiden were playing two sold out shows at the O2. It makes perfect sense to launch this collaboration, and with Steve’s passion for it and attention to detail it has been amazing."
