New Order have launched a new Blue Monday T-shirt in conjunction with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), the charity for which the band are ambassadors.

The new shirt features the iconic die-cut sleeve design and the original synth used to write Blue Monday and the line “I find it so hard to say what I need to say”. £10 from each shirt purchased will go to help CALM be there for anyone who feels they can’t face tomorrow.
New Order say: “Starting a conversation with somebody could be the most important conversation that person ever has. It could be life-changing. We feel, as CALM ambassadors that we have the perfect lyrics and message to get out there on the 2025 edition of the CALM Blue Monday shirts. And knowing that all the money raised will help make sure CALM are there for even more people who are struggling makes it even more powerful.”
Back in October 2024, New Order marked World Mental Health Day by joining forces with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) for a new suicide prevention video using the band’s classic song Your Silent Face from 1983’s Power, Corruption & Lies.
The new video was shared across the band’s and the charity’s social media platforms on 10 October and was created in a bid to raise awareness for those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
The band members have been impacted by the topics addressed in the video before. In May 1980, Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis took his own life after battling depression and epilepsy in his final years.
New Order have also worked with the CALM charity before– teaming up with Peter Saville to release a Blue Monday shirt for the suicide prevention charity earlier in 2024. It marked the second consecutive year that they have joined forces with the organisation.
