Simply Southern

[Anonymous]

OP, I had the same thought. The whole notion of “SS” in that font is not a good connotation to me. I can’t help but feel like maybe there’s a dog whistle in there, even if everyone doesn’t get it.

And, no I don’t hate southerners or the south.

OMG. That is TERRRIBLE.

SS
Yes, looks like a swazika

& then Add that to negative Southern stereotypes

Yes, it's a little iffy. I considered a gift for someone I thought would like the Southern identification, branding, but decided I didn't want to be associated with the gift or the brand.

Ha, hilarious not the idea, but that whoever created the logo didn't see it.

Hard to imagine it isn't.

Let me guess: you're the kind of person who calls others "Nazis" if they don't vote the way you do. Amirite?

Simply southern is very popular in Georgia and Florida. I never got into it but I think it's fine. It's really hot here. T-shirts and shorts work better for this weather. Most of the women wearing these t-shirts are in college or recent graduates. I used to make fun of the t-shirts but who cares? Life is too short for this crap. Some of my closest friends wear theses t-shirts. It's a t-shirt..

I noticed it right away, too. I’m from the south as well.

Even when it sends a likely white supremacist message?

It doesn’t send that message to most of America who aren’t seeking to be offended by anything and everything

Yikes. I would not wear that.

It honestly just looks like a monogram to me. Nothing nefarious.
