"Ironic" nazi imagery used to be popular in certain parts of the 70s punk scene in London, which is where the brand originates from.
Same with Fred Perry shirts, Lonsdale clothing and Ben Sherman jackets. Used to be the uniform for anti-racist, working class skinheads, rude boys and other kinds of cool people in London in the 70s. Now it's been co-opted by a bunch of nazi assholes or English geezers with the worst opinions you've ever heard.
I still rock all those because boneheads and proud boys can all fuck right off. And I find delight when one tries to sidle up to me and I get to tell them to fuck off to their face.
SHARPs/RASH stay winning
That makes some kind of sense. Iirc the purpose was to piss off people who thought of themselves as being not-Nazis who were definitely de-facto Nazis.
But like it's 2024 now, WWII and the OG Nazis are not within easy living memory, this doesn't work anymore.
