The puzzling thing is that it looks so incredibly dated, too. It looks like a relic of the era it belongs to, which is the mid 80s - an association the band / Jon has been wanting to shake for almost 30 years.
The logo they used in the 90s was great, very printable, and while somewhat connected to the previous one, rather timeless. It hasn't appeared again ever since, unless I am mistaken. The band's "brand" is Jon, and while having a brand is one thing, having a visual identity is another. That's missing, too.
Also, if anything, these shirt designs show that Bon Jovi have failed to be the one thing they'd wanted to be, according to the band: A pop band. These are crappy rock band shirts. Worn by people with solarium burnt skin and gold chains. They are not cheeky, they're not popping, they're just... I wonder why none of them have an acid washed denim & leather design.
