There are even sets of pins with the symbols they used to announce their return. These symbols – Clarity, Courage, Sacrifice, Devotion – also got their own set of fan theories as to what they might mean to MCR.
Since the day the band announced their return, fans waited patiently for the day they would go on a full tour.
The band released the full “A Summoning…” video earlier today, and now fans can take solace in knowing they were right. My Chemical Romance officially announced their first U.S. tour in nine years in the video.
Now, MCR has dropped a new line corresponding to their upcoming North American Tour.
The new merchandise features the symbol that appears throughout the video. Gerard Way also wore the sigil on a patch during the band’s comeback set at the shrine.
Is it supposed to be a symbol for My Chemical Romance maybe? I got MYCHMRN on one of the most well-known sigil making systems. pic.twitter.com/INqtwKJ7U1
