The shirts are repurposed vintage band and rap t-shirts (or if you will, their preferred slogan for the capsule, “Rock vs. Rap”) that are emblazoned with Kendall and Kylie’s touch. The personalization includes the K.K. initials, Kendall’s superimposed face, and a silkscreen reproduction of an Instagram of Kylie in a bikini over images of Biggie and Tupac, Metallica, and Pink Floyd. According to [_CR Fashion Book_](http://www.crfashionbook.com/celebrity/a10232975/kendall-kylie-new-collection-vintage-band-tees/), the t-shirts are [a limited edition capsule collection](https://kendall-kylie.com/collections/one-of-one) that will sell for $125 a shirt. As might be expected the Internet had plenty of feelings about the new t-shirts and took to the web to share their thoughts about the new line. Some felt that the sisters were disrespecting the legacy of rappers Biggie and Tupac. > [](https://twitter.com/Sydnie%5FJohnson/status/880125218123005952) > [](https://twitter.com/LalonisHoochie/status/880116722463723520) While others felt that the Jenner girls had no place remixing shirts depicting rock icons. > [](https://twitter.com/mandastephanie1/status/880123963573248001) > [](https://twitter.com/sunsetyas/status/880123674183049220) Some balked at the $125 price point. > [](https://twitter.com/RachelEyler1/status/880124214753337350) > [](https://twitter.com/djspookyjim123/status/880115976221728771) However, some fans were more enthused. > [](https://twitter.com/envykendall/status/880109450576580608) > [](https://twitter.com/knjroyalty/status/879894229048152064) **Update**: Both Kendall and Kylie Jenner posted a statement to their personal Twitter accounts apologizing to “anyone who has been upset and/or offended, especially to the families of the artists.” The statement also noted that shirts had been pulled from retail and that all images of it were removed. > [](https://twitter.com/KendallJenner/status/880527206362914816) > [](https://twitter.com/KylieJenner/status/880527597825794048) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4837340/kendall-kylie-jenner-shirt-reactions/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4837340/kendall-kylie-jenner-shirt-reactions/"},"headline":"The Internet Has a Lot of Feelings About Kendall and Kylie Jenner's New T-shirts","datePublished":"2017-06-28T20:18:43.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T06:19:34.000Z","description":"Music fans are not happy","url":"https://time.com/4837340/kendall-kylie-jenner-shirt-reactions/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","viral","fashion","Kylie Jenner","Kendall Jenner"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52b6df6a6ef99a98/6988d3b7cf40a88fa9c4856e/kendall-kylie-jenner-vintage-t-shirt-controversy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52b6df6a6ef99a98/6988d3b7cf40a88fa9c4856e/kendall-kylie-jenner-vintage-t-shirt-controversy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"NBCUniversal's 74th Annual Golden Globes After Party - Arrivals","caption":"NBCUniversal's 74th Annual Golden Globes After Party - Arrivals","creditText":"Gabriel Olsen—FilmMagic","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4837340/kendall-kylie-jenner-shirt-reactions/","name":"The Internet Has a Lot of Feelings About Kendall and Kylie Jenner's New T-shirts"}}]}] ```
