Urban Outfitters cause outrage over inappropriate jumper

 

Clothing company, Urban Outfitters are facing massive backlash over a jumper they have on sale.

The jumper features the crest for Kent State University and has speckles of blood on the front.

Tragically, four unarmed students were killed during a protest against the Cambodian Campaign in 1970 at the university in what became known as the Kent State shootings. 

People have been expressing their anger about the distasteful jumper on Twitter, with many in disbelief that Urban Outfitters actually saw fit to release such a garment. 

ARE. YOU. KIDDING. …?!?!!?! Do not ever buy anything from urban outfitters! How was this even real?! Shame on you! pic.twitter.com/nyRwblaAkz

If you need another reason to boycott @UrbanOutfitters, how about this University of Kent massacre-themed sweatshirt? http://t.co/To5qUa5ICl

A search for the jumper on the clothing company's website now says that the jumper has sold out, somehow we think it may just have been pulled. Or at least we hope so. 

The company has since released an apology for the offending jumper.
