Snaggletooth, the icon for this band, has been featured on hundreds of Motorhead t shirts in different representations over the years. Snaggletooth is also known by the name of War Pig.  In 1977, a couple years after the band was formed, Joe Petagno created this image after meeting their frontman, Lemmy.  This image is a combination of many ideas. It’s oversized boar horns are reflective of Lemmy’s attitude toward life. Petagno studied varieties of skulls and settled with a mix of a wolf crossbred with a gorilla. It was Lemmy’s idea to add chains and spikes. Snaggletooth has been recognized as the symbol of Motorhead many years. Motorhead, the name, is always printed in black, lowercase letters of different fonts. At first the members of this band didn’t all agree on this image. But they have grown to love Snaggletooth over the years. Wearing Snaggletooth on Motorhead t shirts shows your support of the band.
