What is the 23 for on EV's tour merch?

I notice a lot of the merch from Eddie's tour has 23 on it. The jacket. Tonight's poster. One of the Albany shirt. What does it stand for? The only thing I can think of is MJ.

    Yes Michael Jordan's # is part of why he likes 23....also, humans have 23 chromosomes. He was also born on the 23rd.

    Actually there are 23 pairs for a total of 46....hence Tool's song 46 & 2. The 2 being that is where everybody is trying to get to.

    The "23" is "EV" upside down.

    I'm not judging, just trying to lighten the mood. He should be going on in a couple of minutes. Just wishing I was there is all.

    No, I'm just trying to lighten my mood I guess, cuz I wish I was at the show tonight. Sorry for the vagueness.

    how the hell is a 2 a V?

    if anything it's a Z.

    I've seen the pict of the tour poster, but is there any other photos of tour merch up so far?

    I thought is was because he was a fan of Dr. Pepper. A wholesome blend of 23 flavors mixed to near perfection.

    Seriously tho, I think has to do with his birth date.

    23 was Don Mattingly's number on the Yankees. One of the best Yankees of all time.

    The 23 is a type of inverted EV due to the font used.

    The tour poster contains a good example:

    Look at the EV logo on the shirts and posters. Move them around and they make a 23. The post above has a link. That's when a 2 is a V.
