1. AC/DC — We're loving the unique design of this children's AC/DC t-shirt from Costal Distress on Etsy! The popular acid washed pattern combined with a kid's rock band t-shirt makes this the ultimate trendsetting fashion piece. Not only do we love that this piece comes in a wide range of sizes, starting from newborn onesies all the way up to adult XL t-shirts, but you can also get this kid's acid wash shirt in Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, and Fleetwood Mac designs (newborn−XL)
2. Queen — This adorable children's Queen t-shirt is simple in design, but it's the perfect rock band t-shirt for toddlers and kids! The tour crest logo gives this piece that extra vintage touch, and the white/silver lettering makes this a great neutral kids rock tee to wear and style in many different way (2−12)
3. Led Zeppelin — This classic kids Led Zeppelin t-shirt from Rowdy Sprout is a must have kids rock band shirt for babies, toddlers, kids, and teens. Not only is this children's rock t-shirt extremely soft and comfy, but the faded black color gives this tee that timeless look we all know and love! We also love that this children's rock t-shirt is sporting Led Zeppelin's 1977 North American tour, making it a vintage tee dream (3/6m−18)
4. The Beatles − Blackbird — How cool is this kids The Beatles 'Blackbird' t-shirt from Rowdy Sprout?! We absolutely love lyric design kids rock shirts and this one is no exception! Not only are the design and colors of this children's Beatles t-shirt absolutely gorgeous, but the distressed look gives this rock tee that popular vintage and thrifty appearance (3/6m−12y)
5. David Bowie — If you're a huge David Bowie fan, or rock fan in general, then this Ziggy Stardust Radio City concert tee is a must have kids rock concert shirt for the little ones! Not only do we love this Amazon kids rock t-shirt for the classic and iconic show, but we're also loving the unique, vintage look of the blue graphic on this tee. You can easily style this tee with some stylish faded black, ripped jeans (2−12)
6. Pink Floyd — Another simple yet stylish children's rock t-shirt. This kids Pink Floyd t-shirt from Kidvicious features the album artwork from 'The Wall' but it's designed in the coolest pink graphic that gives this rock tee a unique, vintage look. We're also loving the contrast between the distressed pink lettering and the faded black shirt color (3/6m−11/12y)
7. Grateful Dead — To say we're obsessed with this children's Grateful Dead t-shirt is an understatement! We love this take on the famous Grateful Dead "skull and roses" logo, and the off-white shirt color gives this kids rock and roll t-shirt an added vintage look. We're also loving this stylish Rowdy Sprout Grateful Dead ringer tee; and you can see it styled in one of our outfit creations here (3/6m−18)
8. Johnny Cash — Even though he may not have been exclusively considered a rock star, we still had to include this stylish and classic kids Johnny Cash t-shirt in our round-up. Similar to the kids Queen tour t-shirt, this Johnny Cash 'Man in Black' shirt features a chic silver/white lettering that adds an antique look to the piece. The best part is that this Target toddler rock t-shirt is very affordable ($8.99!) and can easily be styled in many different ways (12m−5T)
9. Nirvana — The coolest kids rock and roll t-shirt there ever was! We're absolutely obsessed with this kids Nirvana tee from Rowdy Sprout. Not only do we love the cool and funky graphic on this shirt, but the raglan tee design gives is kids rock band shirt a sporty look. Easily style this top with ripped jeans for an edgy look (3/6m−12y)
10. Journey — This edgy Journey 'Departure' shirt features the artwork from one of their classic albums, making this kids Journey t-shirt from 9twenty on Etsy a must have rock tee for toddlers and kids! We love the look of this graphic on a dark black tee, and its super soft material makes it a comfy fit for the little ones (2T−Kids XL)
11. The Rolling Stones — Kids Rolling Stones tees may arguably be the most popular rock band t-shirts for kids, so we of course had to include one in our round-up. We particularly love this Rolling Stones kids t-shirt from MC2 SAINT BARTH since it's a little bit different than the typical kids Rolling Stones t-shirts you find. We love the checkered print pattern on the tongue, and the faded graphic on the white tee gives this top a thrifty-find look. We're also loving this simple and unique Rolling Stone tee from Rowdy Sprout; and you can find our 4th of July outfit inspiration using this tee here (1−16)
12. Metallica — They may not entirely be a hard rock band, but this stylish kids Metallica tank top from Cotton On Kids is still a must have rock and roll shirt for kids. We're love the simple look of this top, and it's the perfect shirt for the kids to wear on those hot summer days. You can easily pair this tank with some lounge shorts or even swim shorts for a cool beach look (1−9/10)
13. David Bowie — If you're on the hunt for a more modern looking kids rock tee, then this kids David Bowie Aladdin Sane t-shirt is for you! Compared to the more distressed and faded look of vintage-inspired tees, the graphic on this kid's rock shirt is more clear and bold, like modern day graphic tees. This shirt is also perfect if you love gray shirts on your little ones, rather than the typical faded black or off-white look of vintage tees (2−10)
14. Jimi Hendrix — We're loving the graphic on this toddler Jimi Hendrix shirt! Even though it's designed as a faded and muted vintage looking piece, it's still a very detailed and classic looking graphic. We also love the look of it combined with the faded black tee color. This top can easily be styled with cute trendy shorts or bloomers, and a matching bow for the girls (2T−4T)
15. Red Hot Chili Peppers — How cool is the retro design on this kids Red Hot Chili Peppers shirt from Rowdy Sprout? The combination of the neon yellow, blue, and pink work so well together, and the ringer tee style truly gives it that funky 70s vibe look. Even though this tee is designed for girls, we think it could still work well for boys too (3/6m−12y)
16. Johnny Cash — Another classic kids Johnny Cash tee! Not only do we love the detailed graphic on this Rowdy Sprout tee, but the raglan tee design gives this top that fashionable and popular timeless look that a stylish vintage kids rock t-shirt needs. We're also loving the combination of the black, cream and yellow colors of this tee (3/6m−12y)
17. Pink Floyd — We just can't get enough of this Pink Floyd kids t-shirt from Little Rockstore! Not only do we love the faded graphic, but the light pink color of this tee is truly giving us all the rock and roll vibes. This tee can easily be styled with faded black jean shorts or pants, but if you wanted to keep the style 80s retro, you can also pair this kids rock and roll tee with some neon teal track pants or jacket (2T−8y)
18. Nirvana — There's no better way to end this round-up then with a timeless toddler Nirvana t-shirt!
