Urban Outfitters gets political with anti-Trump, pro-Clinton, Sanders merchandise
Phoenix Business Journal ^ | Jul 20, 2016, | Mike Sunnucks

Donald Trump isn’t all that popular with young voters. And he’s definitely not popular with college students hipster crowd.

So on that front, it’s probably not a surprise Philadelphia-based Urban Outfitters has just started carrying some t-shirts and coffee mugs that are anti-Trump and favor Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

The retailer is used to controversy. The Navajo Nation — which stretches across northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico — has been fighting Urban Outfitters in court over the retailer’s use of the Navajo name on some of its products.

Its customer base probably like Navajos more than Trump.

Urban Outfitters calls its anti-Trump shirt and mug “the perfect t-shirt to communicate your somewhat decided indecision.”

My guess is that they love the cheap labor in Vietnam and China.

If “Rural Outfitters” existed, they would be just the opposite...

I'll never shop there. And for what it's worth, from now on, I'll diss Urban Outfitters.

To hipsters the most important thing in the world is being hip. Doesn’t that tell you everything you need to know about hipsters? :^)

Yep. If they sold American flag T-shirts saying ‘Make America Great Again’, their customers would smile.

My guess is that most normal Americans, supporting heir family, “pulling the cart,” not merely riding in it, cannot risk the simple satisfaction of publicly demonstrating their political choices because the “opposition” is composed mostly of violent indolent parasites and violent thugs, racists, deviants, and antisocial groups not hesitating for a second in vandalizing your car, burning your house down, mugging you or killing your family or you -— simply because your political choices do not match their own.

Follow one of these college kids home and look what’s behind the door. That should tell it all. Children learn by example! Good or bad! and they don’t know the difference.

I’ve been tempted to go over and ask where the crooked hillary mugs are. They are headquartered here in philly.

I’m a Carhartt kind of guy myself, so I’ve never shopped there, and will never darken their doorway.

Never shopped there, but I just dropped them a note letting them know I won’t be letting my kids shop there, and I’d be advising others to do the same.

The “Contact Us” link at the bottom of their website should be heavily utilized by Trump supporters.

I’m tired of these idiots thinking they can take sides with no consequences. Boycott the bastards.

I used to live just a few blocks from the very first Urban Outfitters location, near 41st & Locust in Philadelphia. Even then, when I was in my 20s, I didn’t care for their slant on things. I don’t think I ever bought anything from them, though I do recall eating at the attached restaurant, at least once.

In any case, I’ve gone this long without buying anything from them, so I think I can keep it up.
