Rolling Stones Est. 1962: a rock badge celebrating the band's beginnings
Official Rolling Stones iron-on patch – Est. 1962 – Ø 8.5 cm
This official Rolling Stones iron-on patch takes the form of a large circular badge built around the band's famous red tongue logo. The central design is surrounded by the words ROLLING STONES and ESTABLISHED 1962, in a distinctive red, black and white composition.
Established 1962: the birth of the Rolling Stones
The Established 1962 inscription refers directly to the band's beginnings in London. The Rolling Stones formed in 1962 around Brian Jones, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Ian Stewart, with Dick Taylor playing bass during the group's earliest weeks.
On 12 July 1962, they played at London's Marquee Club in what is traditionally regarded as their first performance under the name The Rollin' Stones. The “1962” displayed on this patch therefore points directly to the starting point of the band's history.
A design built like an emblem
Rather than simply reproducing the Rolling Stones tongue, this design places it at the centre of a series of concentric rings. The band's name fills the upper section, while Established 1962 runs around the lower half.
The red central motif and upper lettering stand out against the black background, while the broad white lower section highlights the date. The overall composition gives the patch the appearance of a commemorative badge or emblem, setting it apart from designs featuring the standalone band logo.
More than six decades summed up by one date
The “1962” inscription has gained even greater significance over time, pointing back to the beginnings of a band whose history now spans more than six decades. Instead of celebrating a particular album or tour, this design connects the Rolling Stones directly with the year their story began.
