| Just saw this brand at Dicks for the first time. Am I wrong that the logo looks like a swastika AND they used SS, which also has very negative Nazi associations? What in the world?? |

| I never thought of that, but it’s the lower class version of Vineyard Vines. |

| OP, has anyone ever told you that you have a very creative mind? |

I don't know how to do pictures, but here's a link to a shirt with the logo: https://simplysoutherntees.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=59_254&product_id=6623&sort=p.date_added&order=DESC&limit=15. |

| It’s not my style but I don’t get “swastika.” It’s a common monogram font, and southern style has always been heavy on monograms. Stop seeking out ways to be offended, OP. |

| Yeah everything about the brand seems sorta white supremacist to me. |

And everything about this post seems sort of whacky to me. |

I have seen Simply Southern things for years and never made the associations you did, OP.

| I think you just hate Southerners, OP. So you're experiencing cognitive bias. |

That was weird. I couldn't get it to come up in Edge so I just googled the domain name in Chrome. Took awhile to load and caught a glimpse of the back of a shirt, which had the logo embedded in a very militaristic background with plenty of black and the swastika effect was extreme. But that view disappeared within a second and was replaced by pics of shirts with palm trees and sea turtles and pink and turquoise. By then the Edge link had come up and I saw the "love" shirt with the SS in pink, but the previous view looked exactly like what OP was talking about. It looked like the kind of thing you'd see on the back of a biker jacket.
