Buying Christmas presents for music fans should be easy. Unfortunately, they've usually already got the albums, own far too much vinyl and have extremely strong opinions about which version of a band's third album was best.
That's where we come in.
Our collection of Christmas gifts for music lovers is packed with original t-shirts, music-inspired football shirts, sweatshirts and gifts inspired by some of the greatest bands, artists and musical movements ever to make a noise.
From punk and post-punk to indie, rock, Britpop and beyond, you'll find designs celebrating legendary artists, cult favourites and the sort of bands whose fans can identify a B-side within three seconds.
Whether you're shopping for a Joy Division obsessive, a Bowie devotee, an ageing punk, an indie kid who never quite grew up or somebody who insists music hasn't been any good since 1987, we've got you covered.
Music Gifts That Aren't Another Greatest Hits Album
Forget novelty socks and supermarket compilation CDs.
Our music-inspired designs are made for people who genuinely love their music, with references, jokes and artwork that fellow fans will actually recognise.
Perfect for husbands, wives, dads, mums, brothers, sisters, mates and anyone else whose record collection takes up an unreasonable amount of the house.
Find them something they'll actually want to wear this Christmas.

Punk & Post-Punk
| Joy Division: Ian Curtis Football Shirt |
 |
| One for the Joy Division fan who already owns Unknown Pleasures in every conceivable format. Packed with wonderfully nerdy references — from the CP-1919 pulsar pattern to FC Warszawa, Factory Records, Transmission and the FACT10-inspired number 10 — it's the sort of gift that rewards a proper fan the closer they look. |
| The Clash: London Calling Football Shirt |
 |
| Punk meets football in a shirt inspired by one of the most recognisable albums of the era. The pink-and-green detailing nods to the famous London Calling sleeve, while the Brixton-inspired badge makes this a great Christmas present for the Clash fan who'd rather wear their allegiance than put another framed album cover on the wall. |
| The Sex Pistols: Johnny Rotten Football Shirt |
 |
| For the punk in your life who still hasn't quite accepted that 1977 was nearly half a century ago. Inspired by the unmistakable artwork of Never Mind the Bollocks, this is a suitably loud football-shirt tribute to Johnny Rotten and the band that helped turn British music upside down. |
Indie & Alternative
| The Stone Roses: Ian Brown “Adored” Football Shirt |
 |
| A brilliant present for the Stone Roses fan who already owns the bucket hat. Inspired by John Squire’s famous paint-splattered artwork, it’s packed with Roses references including the lemon badge, “Adored” sponsor and a nod to Bye Bye Badman. |
| The Smiths: Johnny Marr Football Shirt |
 |
| For anyone who still believes four lads from Manchester changed music forever. This Johnny Marr-inspired football shirt combines two great northern obsessions — indie music and football — and makes a much more interesting present than another The Queen Is Dead poster. |
| Nirvana: Kurt Cobain Football Shirt |
 |
| Grunge meets the beautiful game in this tribute to Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. An ideal Christmas gift for anyone whose wardrobe still contains considerably more black than is strictly necessary. |
Rock
| Led Zeppelin: Robert Plant Football Shirt |
 |
| A football shirt for someone who'd rather be listening to Led Zeppelin IV. This Robert Plant-inspired design is a great alternative to the usual band tee for one of rock's most enduring fanbases. |
| Motörhead: Lemmy Football Shirt |
 |
| Some people are difficult to buy Christmas presents for. People who love Motörhead aren't: give them something with Lemmy on it. This football-shirt tribute to rock's great hellraiser should go down considerably better than another bottle of whisky. |
| Pink Floyd: Roger Waters Football Shirt |
 |
| For the Pink Floyd fan who can tell you precisely why their favourite album is better than everybody else's favourite album. A suitably unusual football-shirt tribute to Roger Waters and one of rock's most obsessive fanbases. |
Electronic & Synthpop
| Kraftwerk: Ralf Hütter Football Shirt |
 |
| Football and pioneering German electronic music might not seem like obvious bedfellows — which is precisely why we made this. A wonderfully niche Christmas present for the Kraftwerk fan who prefers their music precise, minimal and preferably made by four men standing behind synthesizers. |
| Depeche Mode: Dave Gahan Football Shirt |
 |
| A suitably dark football-shirt tribute to Dave Gahan and Depeche Mode. Perfect for the person whose idea of festive cheer involves putting Violator on the stereo and turning the Christmas lights down. |
| The Prodigy: Keith Flint Football Shirt |
 |
| A much louder proposition. This Keith Flint-inspired shirt celebrates one of British electronic music's most instantly recognisable frontmen — and is already among Red Molotov's current bestsellers. |
Hip-Hop
| Beastie Boys: Ad-Rock Football Shirt |
 |
| For anyone who likes their hip-hop with guitars, New York attitude and a healthy disregard for genre boundaries. Our Ad-Rock football shirt is loaded with Beastie Boys inspiration and makes a great gift for fans who've been fighting for their right to party since the 1980s. |
| Tupac Shakur Football Shirt |
 |
| A football-shirt tribute to one of the most influential figures in hip-hop history. A distinctive Christmas gift for a Tupac fan — and something they're considerably less likely to already own than another poster or standard portrait tee. |
| De La Soul: Posdnuos Football Shirt |
 |
| A brilliantly colourful tribute to De La Soul and founding member Posdnuos, blending hip-hop history with classic football-shirt styling. An ideal Christmas gift for anyone who likes their hip-hop playful, inventive and a little left of centre. |
Music Legends
| David Bowie: Ziggy Stardust Football Shirt |
 |
| For the Bowie fan who already owns the records, books, prints and probably several Bowie T-shirts. This Ziggy Stardust-inspired football shirt offers something a little different — a wearable tribute to one of music's great shape-shifters. |
| Freddie Mercury Football Shirt |
 |
| Few performers deserve the title “music legend” quite as much as Freddie Mercury. This Queen-inspired football shirt makes a suitably flamboyant Christmas present for anyone who still can't hear the opening of Bohemian Rhapsody without joining in. |
| Prince Rogers Nelson Football Shirt |
 |
| A Christmas present fit for anyone who worships at the altar of the Purple One. Our Prince Rogers Nelson football shirt celebrates one of pop's great originals in suitably unconventional Red Molotov fashion. |
Music T-Shirts With a Twist
| Fake Plastic Trees T-Shirt |
 |
| One for the Radiohead fan who appreciates a reference that doesn't need the band's name plastered across it. Featuring the green plastic watering can and fake Chinese rubber plant from Thom Yorke's Fake Plastic Trees, it's a wonderfully understated gift that fellow fans will instantly understand. |
| This Machine Kills Fascists T-Shirt |
 |
| Ten legendary guitars, one legendary slogan. Inspired by the words Woody Guthrie famously displayed on his guitar, this is a great Christmas gift for anyone who loves music history, iconic musicians and the instruments behind the songs. |
| Personalised Line-Up T-Shirt |
 |
| For the music fan who already owns everything, create something nobody else can buy. Choose their favourite band members, musical heroes or dream line-up — or make it more personal with friends, family or even pets — for a genuinely unique Christmas present. |
Bestsellers
Still can't decide? Let everybody else do the choosing for you. These are three of the music-inspired designs Red Molotov customers have been buying most recently.
| The Streets: Mike Skinner Football Shirt |
 |
| A must for fans of Original Pirate Material and A Grand Don’t Come for Free, this Mike Skinner-inspired shirt is crammed with references to The Streets, from Herbs+ and Empty Cans to Weak Become Heroes. A brilliantly distinctive gift for anyone who remembers when British music sounded like tower blocks, late nights and a packet of Rizla. |
| Pulp: Jarvis Cocker Football Shirt |
 |
| A gloriously colourful tribute to Pulp, packed with nods to Common People, Disco 2000, Babies and This Is Hardcore. With Stanhope Road F.C., Rum & Cola and Jarvis’s unmistakable glasses among the details, it’s a Christmas gift with plenty for a proper Pulp fan to discover. |
| The Specials: Terry Hall Football Shirt |
 |
| A football-shirt tribute to Terry Hall and the unmistakable sound and style of The Specials. Combining ska heritage with classic football aesthetics, it’s an ideal Christmas present for anyone whose record collection still has plenty of 2 Tone in it. |
