Summary

The GALACTIC EMPIRE THE TROOPER tee design features Iron Maiden's The Trooper album cover parodied with a Star Wars Stormtrooper.

Some of the links above are "affiliate links." This means that I will receive a small commission if you click on and purchase the item. Nevertheless, I only recommend products and services that I personally believe in and use. This disclosure is in accordance with the FTC's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

The Galactic Empire The Trooper tee design is for Star Wars fans that dig the awesomeness of the metal band Iron Maiden.

So instead of the band name "Iron Maiden" there is "Galactic Empire" which is fitting. The concept is great. It makes a much better mash up or parody of Iron Maiden's The Trooper than say the Skeletor version (which isn't bad) or the Mars Attacks version. As it actually has parallels with the "trooper" concept with a Stormtrooper carrying a Galactic Empire Flag in place of Eddie as The Trooper carrying the Union Jack (Shown below). It is definitely one of the best three Iron Maiden derived mash ups that I have seen. At least in the pop culture tee circuits.

Iron Maiden The Trooper Album Cover

As for the artwork, it is beautifully done. To simplify things Mark used a circle to keep the focus on the Stormtrooper rather than the battlefield. Thus eliminating a lot of busy background elements that were in Iron Maiden's actual album cover. While it is difficult to be as badass as Iron Maiden's original cover art, Darth Vader makes an appearance in the corner instead of the Grim Reaper. Thus, bringing it up to par. The coloring, shading, and style is a nice blend of the Star Wars comic books and the album art. Which makes the design work. There is another version of this same concept done by someone else that is just terrible at all three (show below).

Bottom Line

The products and retailer TeePublic are high quality with a better price than most of the other Print On Demand services ($14.00 – $20.00 range for Tees, $38.00 – 40.00 for Crewnecks, $45.00 – 47.00 for Hoodies). Most of the designs can be found elsewhere but the color and print quality may be weak in comparison. The brand of blanks that they use are for the Men’s Alstyle, for the Women’s Next Level and for the Pullovers American Apparel. They are extremely soft and very comfortable. It is nice to have fabric color options as each design usually has a few choices to choose from, so that is a major plus. There are plenty of sizes and styles as well. The garments are TAGLESS which is awesome because tags are itchy and annoying. As for the printing method, they use the Digital Print or Direct To Garment (DTG) technique. They have excellent ink coverage, which is where they shine compared to their competition. The ink colors are good but could be bolder which is the only area where one of their competitors out does them. So the print method gets a 5 star rating, especially when taking the price into consideration. We feel that this GALACTIC EMPIRE THE TROOPER Tee is a worthy purchase and therefore should not result in any buyer’s remorse.
