Urban Outfitters has pissed off the ADL and many other people for its shirt design that invokes the yellow Star of David used during the Holocaust. The shirt, in reality, is not meant to offend Jews, although it is understandable as to why it does. The design is otherwise clearly meant for Kabbalah (and presumably Jewish or Jew-tolerant) hipsters, especially of the Merkabah mysticism variety. Sadly, it's another case of people getting rightly mad, but for the wrong reasons since few understand the occult, even fewer Merkabah, and even fewer still the darkness behind Merkabah.
Anyway, breaking it down, the star design represents the Merkabah and is plainly in that design, and the blue and gold for the usual Horus tired occult reference--not yellow of "look a Jew!" Holocaust infamy. I don't think this shirt has any direct connection to the other offensive shirts the company has put out. It is clearly an occult/mysticism reference taken the wrong way.
