Vintage 1989 Petra "On Fire!" World Tour Distressed T-Shirt XL Sword of the Spirit

This authentic vintage 1989 band tee serves as a raw artifact from the absolute peak of Christian arena rock. The front features a dynamic, high-color illustration of the "Sword of the Spirit" shattering through stone—a visual metaphor central to the "On Fire!" era. The graphic pops with electric blues and yellows against the perfectly faded navy-charcoal fabric.

The back is a massive flex of the band's reach, listing the World Tour 89-90 dates over a distressed red "On Fire!" logotype.

The History & Significance: On Fire! is widely considered Petra's masterpiece (and their heaviest album), winning a Grammy and defining the sound of "Sanctified Rock" in the late 80s. This tour saw them filling arenas usually reserved for secular giants. This specific piece is a foundational relic of that crossover moment, preserved on the legendary Screen Stars Best blank that collectors prioritize for its superior 50/50 drape.
