What you guys think about this brand,will it be accepted by mma fans?

I was just surfin the net and found out this brand is sponsoring Matt Danzig at UFC 100.
Mac
Danzig UFC 100 Hoelzer Reich Signature T-shirt

Never heard of them so i went on their site to check it out.
Anyways not sure what to make of em.They look a bit bikerish in my opinion-
skulls ,black clothes etc.

What strikes the most are in my opinion "Nazi"themed symbols they use in their clothing.I can understand iron crosses etc since they were used before the Nazis in Germany.But this brand has shirts with SS totenkompfs,German eagle head etc.All together their clothes are very too German WW2 like minded for my taste.They state they're suppose to be German themed clothes,lol but so far its themed with negative German symbols.
If i am not mistaked i believe in Germany for weareing stuff with a totenkompf ,you can end up in prison.

Now they have this on their site
"In NO WAY are we racist, representing Aryan beliefs, or in any way related to a negative party. Hoelzer Reich Clothing is just an apparel brand with German themed imagery, similar to the style of West Coast Choppers (A very well known world-wide brand), and we are accepting of all. We started this company using a family name, our love for apparel and design, and desire to create a bad ass line of apparel!
Please contact us with any questions or concerns! "

Regardless of what it says on their site ,check some of their clothes and see what u think for yourselves.



Cant picture a fighter comin out to this without all hell breaking loose
Or better could Rampage come out with this lol!!







By the way in no way i am connected to this brand or anything(just in case someone will say i am helpin advertise).Like i said i just found their site tonite and they claim they wanna make a move to the MMA world so i was wondering .Wont their designs cause controversy in your opinion??

They say they aren't racist they are just "German themed"...but then they use world war II Nazi-esque imagery. Seems to be walking the thin line. I could see how someone might be offended/take it the wrong way if they saw someone wearing one of those shirts.

Like I said in a prior thread, it seems like there is always somone out there that has to put the stress test to reasonable parameters. The last one was the "Put the Jew back in Jiu Jitsu" religious designs, now these. Like there are not ten million design options available that would be reasonable.

The guy in the third photo probably should not wear that as a walk-in shirt to a Fedor fight.

Anybody else think this shirt just scream bad idea.....Response '' um no man cuz if cain can have brown pride i can wear this''. Whats next shirts with crosses supported by the Kind Kind Klub.

[Tone C]

You gotta be shittin me.Although there are enough morons out there that would wear this stuff.

It is very sneaky how their HR symbol looks very similar to a swastika. We live in a sad time where anything you design that makes someone either think they are "hard" or "cool" will sell. This is also part of the reason why two of the guys in the pictures are tatted and the one guy not tatted is trying to put up a hard stare. It's a shame really, all looks, no game.
I think the design is rather childish and i would never wear it. However, as a business decision I think it is brilliant and it will make them money because people will buy it. They should not invest in it to heavily because there will be backlash and that will hurt them. They need to make their money quick and then let the house fall. IMHO of course.

It has the right ingredients. Skulls, blood, daggers, all on a black t shirt. Im not sure how many skinheads and KKK members are into MMA, but probably a few. So, thery may sell.

When I see people wearing these types of shirts, they usually puff there chests out and have a look on their faces like they are looking for a fight. I imagine if you wear this shirt enough, a fight will find you.


When I win the lotto, I am starting a clothing company for MMA, BJJ, etc. No skulls, daggers, lightning bolts, no black t shirts. Just nice shirts that say "I like this sport". Kind of like a Life is Good for MMA. Im so tired of this crap.

Oh, I gotta go get some lotto tickets.
