Metropolis (1927): Legend of Babel Tee

A two-sided premium tee capturing Maria’s legendary tale of the Tower of Babel told from the catacombs beneath Metropolis.

FRONT
The chest features the Metropolis logo in a sharp and distorted style that feels both oppressive and rebellious, as if the workers have taken the symbols of their world and reshaped them into something defiant.

BACK
The back print shows Maria in the catacombs as she tells the workers the story of the Tower of Babel. Surrounded by wooden crosses and the carved walls of the underground, Maria becomes a beacon of hope for the workers who long for a bridge between their world and the one above.

ABOUT THE FILM
Fritz Lang’s Metropolis (1927) is a landmark of German Expressionist cinema, depicting a divided future city where the wealthy rule above ground while workers toil in the depths. The film blends myth, industrial dystopia, and spiritual allegory, creating some of the most enduring imagery in silent film history.
