Another day, another rip. Forever 21 is on the hot seat (once again) for unabashedly snatching Thrasher’s notorious logo. Although the skate mag mainstay necessarily doesn’t have the rights to the Banco typeface, it goes without saying that any font reworkings outside of the Thrasher fauna should kick the bucket. The murder weapon is a windbreaker jacket that boasts a “Happiness” graphic emblazoned on the back portion — it bares a striking resemblance to the flaming variant of the skate imprint’s logo, which originated back in 2002 for its iconic TH1RT3EN issue.

The outerwear piece, which is currently on sale for approximately $78 USD, caught the attention of Thrasher on Instagram — having reacted to the shameless rip with a screencap of the offering alongside a caption that simply reads: “FUCK OFF.”

Take a look at the jacket above and let us know your thoughts.

FUCK OFF @forever21 ????????
