Michael Jackson Official “This Is It” Concert Merchandise



July 13th was to be a historic night for Michael Jackson. It would’ve been the first of fifty shows for his “This Is It” concert series at London’s famed O2 Arena. To honor Michael and memorialize this event, official concert merchandise featuring the London tour logo and a graphic of Michael is being sold online and will be available in stores. L.A. Times reports that the King of Pop himself sketched out ideas for the merchandise and helped design more than 300 items. There are the usual tchotchkes such as keychains, mugs, playing cards and apparel such as a varsity jacket, t-shirts, hats, belt buckles, scarves, tote bags and even white glitter socks. No, I didn’t see any white glitter gloves on sale.

The red O2 Opening Night Commemorative Event t-shirt promises to be a collectors item as the shirt will only be sold until midnight July 13th, and then retired forever. Featuring a bold number 1 on the back to memorialize the first Michael Jackson show, the $30 shirt was to have been sold at the O2 only on July 13th 2009. This shirt will only available exclusively at the Official Michael Jackson store. So if you didn’t get a chance to go to Tuesday’s memorial service at Staples Center or even snag tickets to the “This Is It” concert, this is one more chance to have a keepsake commemorating the singer’s final bow.
