A red nylon/elastic blend wrestling-style singlet with a white felt Puma logo on the front and back, labeled, "Puma," owned and stage-worn by Queen frontman, Freddie Mercury in 1984.

Mercury can be seen wearing the singlet in San Remo, Italy during a photo shoot at an Italian villa, prior to a performance by Queen at the San Remo Festival in February of 1984, as well as on stage at this festival. The singlet was also worn by Mercury on stage at the Pavilion, Montreux, Switzerland on May 12, 1984 during the Golden Rose Festival.

British Vogue described Queen frontman Freddie Mercury as a “style icon,” focusing on such “flamboyant fashion” moments as capes, military jackets, and even (in the “I Want to Break Free” video) dressing up as a housewife. But Mercury also incorporated everyday sports attire like gym shorts, sneakers, and this nylon/elastic wrestling-style Puma singlet. Attuned to the camp possibilities of these workout clothes, the beloved singer wore this piece on stage with Queen in 1984 at Italy’s San Remo Festival and in Montreux, Switzerland for a performance at the Golden Rose Festival.
