New Order have launched a new official t-shirt in aid of the British Red Cross’ Ukraine Crisis Appeal.Available through the band’s official merch store, the shirt’s design was inspired by the VHS label of their Taras Shevchenko concert film, which was designed by the Peter Saville Associates agency.The gig in question was filmed in late 1981 at the Ukrainian National Home in New York City. The film was named after Taras Shevchenko, the 19th century writer, poet and painter whose works championed the formation of an independent Ukraine.You can purchase the white t-shirt for £25, with a minimum of £10 from each sale being donated to the Red Cross.Last November, New Order marked the 40th anniversary of their debut album ‘Movement’ by sharing the aforementioned NYC show on YouTube in its entirety.

"With fighting intensifying, the Red Cross is increasingly concerned about the welfare of those caught up in this conflict," The Red Cross said in a statement.
"We have collections opportunities up and down the country to raise the money necessary to provide food, first aid and shelter to those affected."
Miranda Bradley, Head of Volunteering for Fundraising, British Red Cross said: “We have received such an overwhelming response from the British public, who have opened up their hearts and pockets to try and help support the humanitarian crisis unfolding day by day in Ukraine.
"We know that people have felt helpless, sad and desperate to support as the crisis in Ukraine continues to deepen and this is another way for people to show their support if they wish to.
"Picking up a bucket at your local SPAR store will help to raise crucial donations that will go directly to the essential work of Red Cross volunteers on the frontline of the humanitarian response.”
