This is repulsive. On more than one level.

Blatant attempt to be shocking.

Not funny. I don't care if it's been 44 years. Really? Everyone who sees it IMMEDIATELY thinks of the tragedy, but it never crossed your mind? You just randomly chose Kent State for your bloody college shirt? "There's been complains about the shirt. Quick, change it to Virginia Tech!"

I have nothing clever to say, so here's the greatest reaction pic/GIF ever:

Because they're advertising a vintage shirt that looks like it has blood splatter on it and bears the logo of a university whose most significant historical event was when the state National Guard shot several students during a protest. (sorry, I couldn't tell if you were being genuine or facetious. I only figured it wasn't directly stated why this was bad, only alluded too, so our entire poster population may not know.)

You'd think someone, somewhere would've went-- "Maybe this isn't a good idea."

It is horribly insensitive, but beyond that it looks like shit. Like, that is a horrible color to begin with.

I firmly believe that everything and everyone CAN be joked about, or that an artistic statement can be made, a conversation had.
None of that is here, though. This isn't really a joke, and it isn't really any kind of statement. It's just a shitty overpriced sweatshirt.

What the shit? "This wasn't our intention." Really? Then why would you pick the one University associated with a notorious shooting to stain with blood?
f***, what's next, a singed tracksuit with "Boston Marathon 2013" on it?

Uh..., I meant why would they do that. I'm well aware of what happened at Kent State.

Yeah, like I said before they ALMOST had plausible deniability; could've just said "we've made sweaters like this for a lot of schools, it just so happens Kent State's colors created this effect, and we're sorry for not noticing it earlier."
But then they have those random ass deep red spots that look like splatters of blood, and that goes right out the window. How the hell did this get anywhere near stores?

I more or less expect they'll release a cuckoo clock where Charles Whitman pops out every hour with the sound of shots fired. That's about their speed.

Oh what the hell!?!?! This is seriously messed up and for a 129.00 on top of that? REALLY? It cost about 5 to make and it's tasteless.

Meh, this is par for the course for Urban Outfitters.
