Urban outfitters: Vintage Kent State Sweatshirt with red blotches



Urban outfitters are offering a sale of "Vintage Kent State Sweatshirt" which is filled with red blotches that could be interpreted as a blood stains. Urban outfitter made fake blood on sweatshirt and now it’s listed on website for sold out for $130.

Some critics are saying that urban outfitter is offering blood stains but urban outfitters says about the design, it just "vintage." 

When National Guard soldiers did fire on protesters against the Vietnam War on May 4, 1970, four students were killed and nine other are injured at Kent State University in Ohio. It reminds obviously the historic moment at Kent State University.

Urban Outfitter sincerely apologizes for our Vintage about the Kent state University. They said our intention never to allude to the tragic historic event that happened at Kent in 1970. 

Urban outfitters explain the red blotches are not a blood, its only discoloration from the original color of sweatshirt and the holes are from natural wear. They said we deeply apologize for this post that was perceived in a negative way and immediately we removed from our website.  

Now the sweatshirt is selling on eBay where one seller is asking for $2500, for the "infamous one of a kind Kent State Sweater." 

Urban outfitters have sold out women t-shirt with printing on it “Eat Less” and “Depression” in 2010. In 2004, they also sold “Jewish Girls” T-shirt covered in dollar signs and printing with “Ghettopoly,” t-shirt in 2003.
