Kanye West’s new tour merch certainly isn't boring. Rather than make cheap, giant T-shirts emblazoned with his name and the Yeezus tour dates, West has opted to make a run of fairly dark merch, including shirts featuring praying skeletons, Confederate flags, and bleak images of a computerized West. West even co-opted a little bit of Metallica’s style, both for the shirts’ bleakness and for the typeface used for his Yeezus logo. The shirts run $35 and are being sold at West’s tour stops, all of which are listed below.

And about those tour dates: West has only done one Yeezus show so far (a scheduled second night was suddenly canceled and rescheduled under "unforeseen circumstances"), but judging from the early reviews, the production sound bananas. Filled with religious imagery, the show involves not only 12 dancing apostles and a bunch of dancers swinging incense burners, but also an actor playing Jesus and a giant mountain which West descends from to gift the populace with his raps.
