When it comes to band merch, it seems like the standard is to have an abundance of t-shirts, caps, koozies, stickers, show posters, and yes, more t-shirts. Even wrapped and signed guitars seem like the norm. Beer mugs, shot glasses and coolers have grown ever more popular in the recent decade as well.

While a t-shirt often does the trick, sometimes fandom can't just be properly expressed by just listening to a band's record. Sometimes, you just have to find merch that speaks volumes about you and the artist. Whether it's a pair of sunglasses or even a football helmet, you just have to have it.
Here are 15 of coolest, and albeit, sometimes strange, band merchandise you can find.
