Zoltar uses SS Nazi Skulls in their designs

[DunkDad]

It might be bad to ripp off other peoples design but ripping it from the nazis is another level i guess.
See the comments over here (http://www.highsnobiety.com/home/the_daily_news/archive/2007/january/03/zoltar_the_magnificent_aw_06/index.htm?tx_ttnews%5BbackPid%5D=27&cHash=f70c5ac169)

Zoltar might have a problem now. Not sure how they will make that popular...

I hope someone would have more of a problem with those gay day-glo colors.

[hellah fresh]

Maybe a son of a former nazi is the designer...

[Dr. Gonzo]

i must admit i have more a problem with them plagiarising nazi skulls than using bright colors. but i have a problem with both. wack!

[Mr.BrightSide]

The whole zoltar thing is weird to me......but what about anything just using nazi symbols flat out,who cares if it was from the punk rock era it's still wrong.....

[c.lopez]

ha yea right.. that blue varsity jacket is off the meat rack.

[steppingrazor]

i have a problem with people using that skull as well, but you are WAAAAY LATE in the game on this one. people have appropriated that skull, along with numerous nazi symbology, such as the lightning bolt SS design.

OBEY, MANY JAPANESE COMPANIES, and more have used that skull. Just like the iron cross has been used many times...and freshjive using a Plus that looks similar to the luftwaffen (german air force) symbol....not identical, but close.

most designers use shit cuz it looks cool and not for any particular reason...but i would NEVER wear anything with the totenkopf (that skull) on it. shit was worn by the SS.

walmart had this one on their shelves...i guarantee the designer just thought he found a cool skull to use.

[Brain]

but i think it's something different with obey cause he uses a lot of political symbols, like some communist signs, that's his style...

i really think they went way too far with that hoodie, or they just didn't get it when they designed it. shit like that can happen...

you gotta be real stupid to wear something like that!

[IHaveAPosse]

yea shep definitly knew what he was doing
his whole thing is to get people to think
using political imagery with mixed messages does that very well

[xerikx]

take a look at history before you spurt out stupid bullshit that society wants to believe

research into that skull and the swastika. see what their true meaning is and how long they were around before the nazis adopted it.

[Lostbryan]

i wonder if the dudes from TBG would rock that

[Nawkternal]

yeah and this how break dancing started damn this whole street culture is all from the nazi

In Germany its even illegal to wear such jackets...

[OutofStep]

I remember going to their office a couple of years back when they had hood and jacket linings with old style black and white drawings that on closer inspection had people screwing all over them. I just think Dan likes to mess with people and be controversial, so no doubt this is what that wanted to happen. Maybe it will backfire.

I wouldn't wear it, being pale and blond it's a bad combo with Nazi logos.

[Agent 001.1]

and my friend right you are

[RyanRodriguez]

ugh.

dont make an ass of yourself with your arrogance. we all know about swastikas being eastern religious symbols first and formost. thats nothing new. and nazi's didnt invent the deaths head (skull and crossbones) that shits been around for a millenia. HOWEVER, that particular rendition was an official symbol of the SS. THAT EXACT DRAWING OF A SKULL AND CROSSBONES. which is what we are referring to. the nazis didnt take that drawing and assume it. they created that particular rendition. dont act like a teacher if you arent smarter than your students.

[DUM]

I think aNYthing's is acceptable in the way they used it (it was Satan saying he as friends with Bush) but I couldn't wear it. Actually I think that's one tee that my mom(German) actually wouldn't allow me to wear.

[Ike Turnah]

hahahah oh man your mom won't let you wear it that made me laugh. Anyway didn't those Freshjive hoodies with the embroidery of flowers on the hood have those skulls on it too G?

[DUM]

:( She cant really make me not wear it. But I'd get the gaaaaaasssssface for sure.
