I’m guessing that this wasn’t exactly the intended message; but there is arguably nontrivial value to a shirt that says “remember when we had troops gunning down unarmed students for having the temerity to dislike Nixon’s plans for Cambodia? Because I sure do.”
People have a habit of eliding the off-message bits of history if you don’t vigorously shove it in their faces pretty frequently.
yah. I did a quick couple of searches for ideas, and found some so horrid that I didn’t want to be associated with propagating them. That’s one rabbit hole that I NOPED out of right quick.
For a winner, I vote Nagurski for the Redskins entry. All of the appalling but still satirical.
That one may be the most suicidal to wear, but as for disgusting my vote go to the Israeli sniper group that created T-shirts with a picture of a pregnant arabic woman with crosshairs over her belly and the text “1 shot 2 kills”.
Wow… Makes sense I suppose, from a group that regularly refers to their human prey as “cockroaches.” Reminds me also of the admissions by Israeli soldiers, which Bernie Sanders recently referenced, that they shoot at Palestinian citizens to alleviate boredom.
The one on the right says "the smaller it is, the harder it is.” That could mean that it is hard for your conscience to shoot even an armed kid, but given the other T-shirt I suspect they just meant it’s a smaller target.
Okay wait, this us what I was wondering – DIYing a Kent State spatter shirt is one thing if you have a black sense of humour, but are those things mass produced?
I don’t know if it’s still available for purchase through Urban Outfitters, but there is an image of it linked with an UO order form (that’s where I got the image). So, at one point, a “buyer” for UO thought, “Let’s sell these.”
Kent State is still a university and sells sweatshirts. And yes, I agree that a private citizen should be able to buy their own sweatshirt from Kent State and do whatever floats their boat. However, UO has a very bizarre and crass business model that never ceases to surprise me.

A little Cormac McCarthy Sans on the tag? c.f. ‘Anything that doesn’t take years of your life and drive you to suicide hardly seems worth doing.’ {Thanks wikiquote. We mawky hellbent tabernacle yeah.}
Ha, if you google “Nickelback shirt” that particular shirt is the first one that comes up. . . except I cropped it a little, and he’s using my cropped photo.
But it’s an easy joke to make, I may not be the first one, and I’m just “some guy” anyway. The internet is full of people borrowing from and riffing on each other, so fair enough.
