They 'created' a shirt and put a number on the back.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Do Liverpool own that number now?

Well I only saw that because of this thread and I still thought more of Euro 96 and the 66 world cup final shirt. I wonder what Liverpool supporter Ian Broudie thinks of when he sees it.

Even the rose on the front could be mistaken at a distance as an outline of the Liver bird exactly where it would be on a footy top.

Daft Scousers just looking to be offended. Nothing the matter with it. In fact I quite like it. I might get myself one.

Don’t think it’s deliberate but whoever designed it wants sacking.
It’s an absolutely shit shirt.

apparently it's a reference to a Bob Marley song released in 1996.

just a bit of a weird coincidence

Topman/Topshop will be closing all over Merseyside now.

There's no way Top Man have done this to cause offence,but it's an ideal opportunity for a certain type of person to be offended.
Do Liverpool have copyright on the number 96, the word karma and the saying what goes around comes around now?

 

[EchoMan]

Maybe this was meant as a Kama Sutra reference. The numbers going round. If you get my drift.

 

[peasmarshmakem]

Parliamentary law 2018....you can no longer use the number 96 because you might offend Scoucers!

Sacking???? What if they don't like football?

The poundland next door to Liverpool Top Shop has just sold out of tea lights.

Should’ve made it 69 and this shirt would still be on sale.
