Last week Kanye West tweeted that he was busy preparing for a The Life of Pablo tour. If that news wasn’t big enough, the rapper also mentioned he was in the midst of working on new tour merch designs. While West wasn’t officially billed to perform this weekend during Coachella 2016, that didn’t stop the rapper from making an unannounced appearance during A$AP Rocky’s set on Friday night. And now it appears that one of the potential new tour designs he previously mentioned might have also made a surprise debut at Coachella. 

West's longtime creative director Virgil Abloh was out at the festival to perform a DJ set at Calvin Klein’s ‘Live in the Desert’ party and was spotted in what appears to be an unreleased The Life of Pablo T-shirt. New York based photographer Ryan Plett was on scene to snap photos of the event and managed to grab a shot of Abloh rocking the new design. The gold long-sleeved shirt features the alternate album cover artwork on the back with a small print on the front that reads “Pablo.” 

Check out the T-shirt design below and be sure to stay tuned for more details in the upcoming weeks.
