The Early Days: Tour Tees and Bootleg Roots
Back in 2016, XXXTentacion’s merch was exactly what you’d expect from an underground SoundCloud rapper: basic Gildan tees with hand-drawn logos, sold at the merch table for $20. The first official shirt featured the now-iconic “Revenge” skull - a design that started as a simple sketch on a napkin. Those early tees were raw, rough, and authentic, much like his early music.
The Breakout: “17” and “?” Era
By 2017, with the release of his debut album 17, XXX’s merch took a leap. The album’s melancholic cover art - a tearful cartoon face - became a staple on hoodies and long sleeves. The “?” album in 2018 brought even more refined designs: embroidered patches, distressed fabrics, and the first limited-run drops. The “?” hoodie (available now for $55.00) features the full album cover printed front and center, made from a heavyweight 80/20 cotton-polyester blend that holds up wash after wash.
Posthumous Legacy: From Tees to Collectibles
After his passing in 2018, the merch evolved again. The team behind his estate focused on quality and meaning. New drops included canvas tote bags, beanie hats, and even a limited-edition vinyl box set of Skins. The 2020 “Bad Vibes Forever” capsule introduced holographic prints and snapback hats. Now, in 2026, the store offers everything from simple logo tees ($25.00) to embroidered bomber jackets ($120.00). Every piece is designed with intention, often referencing specific lyrics, unreleased sketches, or moments from his videos - like the “Look at Me!” tee that captures the energy of his first viral hit.
What Makes It Collectible?
The shift to collectibles didn’t happen by accident. Limited drops, numbered tags, and high-quality materials turned hoodies into sought-after items. The “Revenge” skull, for example, appears in multiple colorways - black, red, and a rare white version that sold out in hours. Fans now trade these like streetwear grails. Even the packaging changed: orders now arrive in black or white poly mailers stamped with the “Members Only” logo, adding to the unboxing experience.
