Does anyone know if Maiden have a traditional day of the week that they typically announce a new album?
Rounding up some things others have found: more examples of this design on Bruce's shirt have been found, apparently at the mini Download fest that just happened last week. You can see one in the background of this Truants tweet:

Note that "IMXVII" is not a valid Roman Numeral - it's gibberish. However, if we separate the "IM" and convert the rest... we get... "IM17".
We'll see, I'm pretty skeptical of this all... the poster looks very out of character for Maiden. Could just as easily be another band attempting to drum up hype.So Iron Maiden's 17th album to be announced on 15th July?
Thanks for sharing these new findings with us.
I don't want to get my hopes up...
The Maiden camp do pay attention to the forums. At least the fanclub forum, so they know about the speculation and all the madness that goes on amongst fans.After this photo I have a feeling, that some Maidenfans forum posters are from Maiden camp and are playing with us, mere mortals
I have to admit the fanboy inside me came back to life today. Regarding the new album I have been quite relaxed, and I sort of gave up hope of getting it this year a while ago. I still doubt we get it this year, but we'll see.At this stage, I am not going to lose any sleep. If there is a new Maiden album announced on 15th July, fine. If there is not an album announced, fine too.
Yep. Perfect product placement.Ok I'm now 99% sure this whole thing being Maiden legit.
Watch this interview with Frank Turner at Download last week, and notice when he unzips his hoodie:

Or, alternately, Rod got a bunch of shirts from this thing back in 2017 and gave them to people close to the band.
There's absolutely nothing here. At most you're being trolled.
