That's what I tried saying in Post 2. I think they are Bible Verses, too.

Prince was very religious. Maybe bible veruses.

Just state what the Bible verse says....why so cryptic?

No they're not, otherwise YOU WOULD HAVE PROVIDED PROOF.

11:59:50 - isn't that usually the time when they start counting down to the New Year? You know, 10, 9, 8, 7...

You can tell that it's an image of digital clock time. The second one over his chest has the bare outline of the lines that would light up for other numbers. You can also see the same bare outlines on the numbers on his sleeve.

Prince did a New Year's Eve bash in 2015 at St. Bart's that year for Roman Abramovich's New Year's Eve party.

He could have had that shirt made early for New Year's Eve. That picture is from December of that year - New Year's Eve was about 3 weeks away.

Exactly. It's counting DOWN- good take on the shirt was probably/could've been made for the NYE party. So simple...we compliacte everything

Now, I wonder (due to the pictures) what his fascination with moons was about. Even references a full moon in June. Well, at least he was not a flat earther type. LOL.

No, the sleeve CLEARLY says "50". And the front likely says so as well, except you only see half of the "0" because there is a crease hiding the other half.

.

It makes very little sense to make different templates; it makes lots of sense they made a single template and used that on several places on the shirt.

baloney..its the secret to the universe

at some of the replies.

Clearly, it's a countdown. And it's not a countdown to midnight. Knowing that he'd be wearing this shirt a decade later, Prince left a clue for us in 2004. Remember when he sang, "My name is 12:01 but you can call me 'Anytime'"?

Obvs.

You do realize that Prince did die 'under the (cherry) Pink Moon'? Not a joke-look it up. 'April 21-22, 2016' . I know Lemoncrush wasn't insinuating that, but it is what it is.

lemoncrush19 said: Perhaps. But a countdown to what? I don't it has anything to do with Prince's passing, if that is what you are suggesting. I was thinking something more prosaic - like a new album cover or similar.

There was a bloodmoon prophecy circulating in 2015-2016:

'The idea of a "blood moon" serving as an omen of the coming of the end times comes from the Book of Joel, where it is written "the sun will turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes."^[4] This phrase is again mentioned by Saint Peter during Pentecost, as recorded in Acts,^[5] although Peter says that the date of Pentecost, not some future date, was the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. The blood moon also appears in the Book of Revelation chapter 6 verses 11 – 13,^[6] where verse 12 says " And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood".' (Wikipedia)

It's more than likely that Prince (who was always watchful of the various signs of the times) was watching the moon phases even more closely that year. The moons design also looks like an , with the iris in the middle.

There definitely are predominant references to the moon in the weeks leading up to his passing. He also posted the image below accompanied with the words: 'Inverted Moon Man' on his Princetagram of December 8th 2015, as well as two clips shown sideways with the image of a neon moon turned on its side next to the 3121 logo in February 2016... Make what you will of these, but remember that Prince never did anything by pure hazard. Added to the fact that he was a very spiritual person, I really doubt that these moons are just meant to be a meaningless decoration on a T-shirt.

Here, the cover of the single '1999' - a song referencing the end time - had a moon lit sky in the window on his left and a day in the window on his right, with Prince in between the two, probably representing the dawn (a spiritual symbol for hope, new beginnings, and awakening) regularly mentioned by Prince.

2 Peter 1:19

'So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts.'

But.... the "1" in the 1999 on the album is also shaped like a penis, so....

*

Some things he did were connected to beliefs or feelings, and others just for the heck of it, or becuase he liked the "look" of something. Many speculated the ear cuffs that he wore symbolized something, and now we know that Steve Parke wore them, and Prince liked the way they looked, so he had his own designed for him. Also, the "3121" shirt and album were based on the home he rented in LA. I'm sure he picked the home based on the numbers adding up to 7, but nonetheless, the numbers were connected to the rental home that his assistant found online.

This reminds me - there was a widely-circulated media report just before ATWIAD was released that Prince's next film (after PR) would be called "Prince of the Darkness and the Morning Star".

Sounds like tabloid "gossip" back then, or possibly a purposeful "leak" from his camp in order to create mystery and keep people guessing. Just like when he was asked what his plans were at the end of the PR tour he stated, "I'm looking for the ladder", and "sometimes it snows in July". Of course, these were references to two new songs, but it was cryptic speak to everyone else at that point.

That was just Satan trying to deceive the rest of y'all (see the upside down three digits next to it?)
He was under a very different kind of contract in those days, later tried to reclaim his freedom though...

Nah...that's just the year 1999 - number 9's - nothing to do with Satan.

Yes, he was under contract with WB then, but was very happy with them at the time, and was about to be catapulted into super-stardom with Purple Rain the following year.

Exactely, super-stardom has led many to do certain things they will regret years later. That's no secret. Prince himself admitted it and specifically advised young artists to not do the same (in a speech he gave at the BET Awards in 2010).

Prince constantly struggled with sex and religion througout his career. And yes, when he converted to JW he did stop cursing and performing the more blatantly sexual/vulgar songs like Head and Sister. However, he did perform Darling Nikki during shows all the way up to 2011, and then clips of the song through 2016. He had also stated in many interviews that his lyrics back then were much "cleaner" and more tame then the current music. Of course, back then his music was actually sensored, so things become more acceptable as time progresses.

*

While Prince's music in later years did at certain times focus more heavily on his religious beliefs, he was still writing plenty about love and sex - just in a more cryptic way - a la the song "Elixir".

*

Most people - performers or anyone - don't think or speak the same way as they grow older. It's the natural aging process and maturity. It happens to everyone. Prince also stated this during those later interviews - that he was older, and had matured from that time period.

Yes, and the empty stage silhouetted against the full moon is interesting, as is the light shining out from beneath his white moon shirt! IMO, it's a message.

Well, if you believe that he knew when he would die (at least the month/day), then it is also quite coincidental/amazing that he wrote and recorded "Sometimes It Snows In April" on April 21st, 1985.
