PacSun Under Fire For ‘Disrespectful’ T-Shirt On Memorial Day Display, Consumers Demand Shirt Removal


One clothing company, Pacific Sunwear, is under fire for a t-shirt that was prominently displayed for the Memorial Day weekend that many Americans are calling offensive. The t-shirt features an image of the American flag in black and white flying upside down. An American flag flown upside down is a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property and those opposed to the shirt feel that unless PacSun was being robbed at gunpoint, there was no reason for such an offensive shirt to be on display. However, backers of the shirt say that the flag is rightfully being flown upside down as many feel the country is in a state of distress and are allowed to fly the flag in such a manner thanks to freedom of speech.

The Pacific Sunwear Facebook page is being overloaded with comments from angry consumers who feel that a Memorial Day display that included a black and white tee shirt with an upside down flag graphic is “un-American.” An image was uploaded by Pacific Sun customer Rachel Zawacki-Kuss that showed a clothing display at the Tanger Outlet PacSun store in Foley, Alabama. Rachel noted that thanks to the disrespectful display, she will not be shopping at Pacific Sun anymore. However, the image was then shared repeatedly by other unhappy customers which are now inundating the page with requests for the shirt to be immediately pulled from the store shelves.

Rachel questioned why this type of shirt would be displayed so prominently on Memorial Day weekend and has left many asking what message the company is trying to send. Numerous costumers have said that that they will no longer be shopping at the store after such a blatant disregard for military veterans and active service members.

“I have been a patron of your store for a while, however after seeing this photo I will no longer be. Shame on your company for purchasing, displaying, and selling these despicable shirts.”

“Our flag is not some fashion accessory. You have no right to print it upside down. Take it off your shelves, apologize, and I’m never spending money on your clothes again. Way to screw up.”

In addition to being on store shelves, the t-shirt is also available on the company’s website. As of the time of this posting, PacSun has not made a statement regarding the controversial shirt and still has the t-shirt for sale on its website.

I've seen the black and white flag right side up, sideways, upside down, and everything in between.

are probably the same people who spout out ignorant and racist comments and claim freedom of speech.

if you don't like the shirt then stop shopping at the fucking store.

Store is aimed at the younger crowd too.

Bunch of adults mad at some shit mostly teenagers will buy.

All this fake outrage just makes people want to go out and buy it now.

"Jesus is my Lord and Savior. And if you believe in him, he can be your's too."

Under Armour pulled the shirt because of the backlash.

This is the shirt.

I understand both sides of the argument.

I concur... And too many white folks worship the U.S. flag.. Shit is disgusting!!!

Regarding the t shirt, the anarchy symbol on the left shoulder is interesting. Not sure what message they are trying to send with that.. I would never fly nor wear any clothing with the U.S. flag so..shrug

Also, symbols are highly, highly overrated and far too easily used to manipulate the masses

"You used to be so cool, but now, you know you're so cold"

on your clothes again"

I always thought a demand from a customer who threatens to leave is more likely to be effective than a customer who is leaving regardless.

Just IMO though.

It has his name across the back, which is why the anarchy sign is on the arm I supposed.

Folks and their flag outrage lol

I swear these days people find anything to complain about.
