Azor Ahai 18,861 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 http://mashable.com/2014/08/27/zara-shirt-nazi-camp-uniform/?utm_cid=mash-com-fb-main-link More clear pic of how it the uniform looks from a BBC movie : The Spanish fashion retailer Zara apologized for and pulled a kids' T-shirt from its website on Wednesday after many on social media pointed out it strongly resembled a Nazi concentration camp uniform. The company listed the "sheriff" shirt on its website for $22 as part of a fashion collection. But the long-sleeved shirt featured a yellow star to the left of the chest, which is reminiscent of the six-point Jewish Star of David. In some camps during the Holocaust, Jews were marked by a yellow triangle over a red triangle to form the Star of David; in others, a yellow star identified them as Jewish. Zara, which is owned by the Spanish company Inditex, said the shirt was designed to be part of a Wild West clothing theme and the star was intended as a sheriff's badge. You can faintly distinguish the word "sheriff" emblazoned onto the badge. The shirt has been removed from the stores and Zara has apologised. http://twitter.com/ZARA/status/504548659040907264 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinladen 1,539 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I wouldn't really notice it if I saw it an a shop. But with a pic of a concentration camp posted below it you do notice the similarity. Nice of them to remove it from the shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haroon 49,685 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If people hadn't pointed out what a Nazi camp uniform looked like, I'd never have known or thought that Just looked like a normal black and white striped top with a star badge to me I'm glad it was pulled after the resemblances were noticed and reported :yes: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Because horizontal stripes are the same as vertical stripes it would've been fine without the star Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
