This tee made a famous cameo in the cover photograph of Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited (1965), in which Dylan wears a Triumph tee under a blue and purple silk shirt, holding his Ray-Ban sunglasses in his right hand.He named the album after the major American highway that connected his birthplace of Duluth, Minnesota, to southern cities famed for their musical heritage, including St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, and the Delta blues area of Mississippi. In his memoir Chronicles: Volume One, Dylan described the kinship he felt with the route: "Highway 61, the main thoroughfare of the country blues, begins about where I began. I always felt like I'd started on it, always had been on it and could go anywhere, even down into the deep Delta country. It was the same road, full of the same contradictions, the same one-horse towns, the same spiritual ancestors ... It was my place in the universe, always felt like it was in my blood."
