Plainbuy · TEXXAS JAM ’86
Cotton Bowl.
Summer of ’86.
A Dallas summer, six bands and two ways to wear the memory.
JULY 19, 1986
COTTON BOWL · DALLAS, TEXAS
Dallas heat.
The sound of a new chapter.
July 19, 1986. The Cotton Bowl. Van Halen headlining in the 5150 era, with Sammy Hagar at the microphone. Dio, Loverboy, Krokus, Keel and Bachman–Turner Overdrive shared the bill.
For the people who were there, those names can bring the day right back. For anyone raised on these records, they tell you exactly what kind of summer this was.
Six bands. One Dallas date. A memory worth wearing.
THE JULY 19, 1986 BILL
Van Halen · Dio · Loverboy

TEXXAS JAM RAGLAN
The concert-jersey look.
A light-colored body, black contrast sleeves and bold festival artwork give the Texxas Jam Raglan its unmistakable ’80s concert character. The front puts the Texas Jam graphic and Van Halen name in focus.
Turn it around for the poster-style festival bill, including the supporting bands and Cotton Bowl location.
FADED BLACK TEE
A darker way to keep it loud.
The Faded Black Tee is the short-sleeve option, with a darker version of the festival graphic and the Van Halen name across the front. Jeans, boots and an open jacket are all it needs.
Its back design takes a different approach: Michael Anthony, Sammy Hagar, Alex Van Halen and Eddie Van Halen, followed by July 19, 1986 and the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Choose this style for the Van Halen band tribute.

For the fan who still turns it up.
Wear it to the next show, the record store, or a weekend with friends who remember these bands. Give it to the person who can still tell you who played that day, in what order, and where they were standing.

Is this an original shirt from 1986?

Which size should I choose?
S–4XL are listed in the selector. Check the product size guide and compare its measurements with a garment you already wear. The raglan and short-sleeve tee are different styles, so check the guide for your selection.
