#Blurryface and the Breastplate of Judgement

Has anyone noticed that the blurry figure to the left of Tyler on the Clancy album cover seems to be wearing the Blurryface Album logo? This could be a direct link to the bishops, and likely Nico hiding in the shadows. If true, then the position of the logo is intriguing. It reminds me of the Breastplate of Judgement worn by a High Priest in the Old Testament/Torah.

Taken from Exodus 28, the Breastplate of Judgement contained 12 precious stones, one for each of the 12 Tribes of Israel. That lead into some interesting implications with the Bishops. Following the theme of a "Highjacked Religion", we know that Dema is divided up into districts like the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

The high priest was the only one permitted to enter the Holy of Holies where God lived. The high priest was looked upon as exercising in all things, political, legal, and sacerdotal, the supreme authority. Nico wearing a similar breastplate could represent him wanting to have a godlike image to the citizens of Dema and giving himself supreme authority. All judgement is left to him.

Exodus 28:15-30

Not sure what you mean by placement. But this is where I see Blurryface in the album cover hiding in the empty "awkward" space next to Tyler. From the photo you posted, I think we are talking about the same spot. Notice where the chest plate would be?

Hadn't seen the bishop figure before, v cool, it does look like a bishop, hunched slightly maybe doing the bishop moves...

I can clearly see Blurryface (album logo) and I see a smaller Tyler standing with his back to us facing Blurryface, with what might be the clancy logo on the back of his jacket, I think this is where you see the breastplate on Blurryface....

There must be loadsa faces in here, there is the kid at the top too, looking down
