If someone were to tell you that the fashion line of Insane Clown Posse clothes included ICP pants, would you believe them? Hip Hop clothing has gone to extreme lengths in the past, but the line not to cross is usually drawn after socks and underwear. But ICP pants? Would they even be functional?

Yes and yes. If you’re curious as to what they look like, just consult our friend Google. Baggy, black, sometimes tattered and almost always containing some chains and straps, wearing ICP pants will plant you squarely in the horror rap / Goth crowd, and probably not the crowd that’s usually associated with hip hop clothing. ICP pants will never be mistaken for skinny jeans, and therefore you will never be mistaken for a hipster.

Oh, and one minor detail. Just like all Insane Clown Posse clothes, ICP pants are branded with the unmistakable Juggalo face paint outlines. For the uninitiated these symbols on the ICP pants may appear to be the famous Greek muses of comedy and tragedy, but that is far from the case.

Just like many hip hop clothing items, ICP pants exist to 1) Promote the band, and 2) Give Juggalos another way to promote the band, and 3) Make Juggalos even more recognizable to other Juggalos around. Unfortunately there are no ICP pants sold in the Insane Clown Posse clothes section of the online store right now, but there’s no telling what you could find elsewhere on the Internet.

Insane Clown Posse clothes are nothing new. Of all the major players in the rap and underground games, most of them dabble or have dabbled in hip hop clothing merchandise at some point during their careers. But, it is rare that those who design hip hop clothing go to the extent that Insane Clown Posse Clothes do. Aside from the branded ICP pants, what other Insane Clown Posse clothes could you imagine?

Let’s start with the basic hip hop clothing, because most of it has already been conceived by mainstream artists who design very different gear than the Insane Clown Posse clothes worn by Juggalos. However, that said, ICP clothing probably includes any item you could imagine being produced by these types. So, think outside the box!

Hmmm…Insane Clown Posse clothes for your feet already exist (hatchetman branded ankle-highs in black and red), as do shoes (skater shoes in black and white with different color hatchetman are some of the most common Insane Clown Posse clothing items. What about a collared shirt? The ICP pants might not be dressy, but a button up with a hatchetman could add some flavor to the Insane Clown Posse clothes collection. A Juggalo should be well groomed every once in a while!

Who are we kidding. Every imaginable hip hop clothing item that ICP could ever design has already been designed. And really, this ICP clothes talk is really besides the point. So long as the band continues making great horror rap that Juggalos enjoy (ICP pants or not), the latest ICP hip hop clothing will be the furthest issue from their minds!

It’s one thing to produce the same generic band t-shirt and poster – that’s what the rest of music does. But Detroit horror rap duo ICP? These guys have diversified their merchandise to such an extent that they even have collectible merch items! Continue reading to see just how ICP has converted their online merchandise store, Hatchetgear.com, into a mecca of all things Juggalos would ever want to own.

Yes, of course the ICP store has a wide variety of Insane Clown Posse shirts. But, stopping the description there would be criminal, because it should also be obvious that the ICP store is not going to be like any other music merchandise store you’ve seen – the ICP store has 146 varieties of Insane Clown Posse shirts! That’s 15 pages of Insane Clown Posse shirts, to be exact.

The most exciting selling point for any Juggalo interested in owning any Insane Clown Posse shirt would be the fact that no Insane Clown Posse shirt is the same. Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope have made sure that each individual Insane Clown Posse shirt is as unique as their music is. Colors, designs, shapes and sizes, you name it – you could wear one Insane Clown Posse shirt for 146 days in a row and not have to be worried about your fashion being repetitive!

It would be foolish to ignore the fact that all ICP merchandise designers took their market into consideration when not only designing the color and image for each Insane Clown Posse shirt in the ICP store, but also the fit. Hip hop clothing, by nature, is baggy. Whether the hip hop clothing you wear is a shirt, jeans, or even a chain, it has to droop in some way, shape, or form to be considered hip hop clothing.

Hip Hop clothing was most notably baggy in the 90s and early ‘00s when gangster rap was at its peak. Today, rappers like Kanye West are actually noted for their modern fashion styles that do not flaunt any baggy clothing to speak of.  However, ICP itself came to power in the 90s, and it’s this writer’s opinion that forever the hip hop clothing worn by ICP and hip hop clothing available in the ICP store will reflect their heritage.

Feeling overwhelmed with all the Insane Clown Posse shirt choices? The ICP store has a function that allows anyone interested in buying the hip hop clothing therein to compare their choices. How many other stores that sell hip hop clothing can boast such advanced technology?

It would be remiss to not mention the merchandise other than Insane Clown Posse shirts that are available in the ICP store. Though not traditional hip hop clothing, the ICP store contains backpacks, belts, patches, pins, stickers, and even comic books that all do their part in promoting the ICP brand. Keep an eye out for more on those topics in future articles about ICP and merchandise!
