Urban outfitters has just made my list if places I will never ever shop at again! They had for sale this sweater. For those of you that may not know about the Kent State shootings, back on may 4th 1970 as students were protesting the Vietnam War,4 students were shot and 9 injured on campus at the hands of the national guard. My husband also graduated from there in 2008.

@mpjp0907  That is awful!  What a sick idea!  I would boycott them but I do not shop there anyway.  Thanks for bringing this to our attention! 4951

@mpjp0907: I recall the Kent State shootings very well. I remember the video on the evening news... it was shocking. I cannot imagine that someone over at Urban Outfitters even thought that this was ok!! 4951

Bring it to the media's attention, like they did for A&F.  Once it's on the national news they will re-think their stupidity of a blood splattered shirt.   Absolutely insane. 4951

urban outfitters responded with thisUpdate: Urban Outfitters has apologized for the shirt. "It was never our intention to allude to the tragic events that took place at Kent State in 1970 and we are extremely saddened that this item was perceived as such … There is no blood on this shirt nor has this item been altered in any way. The red stains are discoloration from the original shade of the shirt and the holes are from natural wear and fray." 
 
 
@mm4731: good try on their part but total BS.......LOL

Ha! You are wrong sir! Kent State set their school colors as navy blue and gold back in the 1920's. Before that it was orange and blue Emoticon
