The Anti-Defamation League in Philadelphia publicly objected Thursday to a T-shirt being sold by Urban Outfitters Inc. that bears a symbol that critics said resembles a Star of David patch that Jews in Nazi Europe were forced to wear during the Holocaust, sometimes on concentration camp uniforms.

“We find this use of symbolism to be extremely distasteful and offensive, and we are outraged that your company would make this product available to your customers,” Barry Morrison, regional director of the ADL, wrote in a letter e-mailed to Richard A. Hayne, chairman and chief executive of the retail corporation headquartered at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. ADL shared the letter with the media.

A phone call to Urban Outfitters spokesman Ed Looram was not immediately returned.

The shirt was brought to the ADL’s attention earlier in the day by an affiliate in Chicago, Morrison said. The $100 Kellog Tee — a yellow cotton shirt from the Denmark-based Wood Wood label — features a six-pointed blue patch embroidered to a chest pocket. It was available on the company’s website as of Thursday afternoon.

The star that Jews were made to wear by the Nazis was yellow and bears absolutely no resemblance to this one other than it is a star shape. Massive and ridiculous fuss over nothing.

jews don't own the 6 pointed star. and like Lidia said, it was gold, not blue. this is just a jewish group trying to get publicity.

Urban outfitters and their offensive T-Shirts, first the Irish, now the Jews :nono:

it's an ugly shirt anyway, i wouldn't be surprised if it was urban outfitters themselves trying to get publicity for themselves.

It is a pretty ugly T-Shirt :laugh:

The t-shirt's just terrible, that's what's shocking about this.

Bet it's expensive as well :idc:

And it's probably crap quality. Urban Outfitters are so wanky.

Ugh, I feel sorry for the fashion victims, not the jews.

Me too, at least there was an end to the suffering of the Jews :idc:
