Vintage 1994 Newsboys "Shine" T-Shirt XL Going Public Tour

This authentic vintage 1994 band tee is a holy grail of 90s CCM culture. Featuring the iconography from the Newsboys' breakout hit "Shine," this shirt represents the moment Christian music crossed over into the mainstream (even landing on MTV). The graphic captures the eccentric, high-energy aesthetic of the Going Public era—bold, distorted typography and the signature "Shine" branding that defined a generation of youth group culture.

The History & Significance: Released in 1994 on the Going Public album, "Shine" is arguably the most recognizable Christian rock song of the 90s. It transformed the Newsboys from an Australian pop-rock outfit into global superstars. This shirt is a foundational relic of that transition, capturing the exact year the band adopted their gold-suited, high-concept visual identity. For collectors, this is the "Nirvana Smiley" of the Christian market—an instantly recognizable icon of the decade.
