I went on the EGL community yesterday and found that a lot of people are saying the latest Meta items look like a nazi uniform. I heard a rumour that the set got pulled down but when I went to checked it was still on the Japanese site. In my opinion Meta were not intending to offend people and if you think about it a lot of military uniforms look similar. But I think the eagle logo like the one on the hat is in poor taste because it does look similar to a nazi logo. I have been looking at a lot of military items as future inspiration but I wont be buying this hat. Here are some pictures so you can make your own mind up.

I personaily like Nazi uniforms. Doesn't mean I like Nazi's or what they stood for. It's just fabric. It's just clothes. It's a uniform, the designs on them only go so far. And I love this design. The eagle doesn't bother me though. It could stand for a number of things. It could stand for what ever you want to stand for.

History shouldn't dictate what we wear.

I think it's just their take on the military style and it looks awesome!

Actually my first thought when i saw these picture this morning was: nazi. I belive i associate it with a really really creepy nazi guy in Hellboy.

I like uniforms, but this version kinda creep me out... I don't even know what makes a nazi uniform different form another uniform but still it was my first thought. (i didn't notice the bird until just now)

This is the picture i saw:



I wouldn't wear it ^^'

I am not offended by this series but I wouldn't wear it. A lot of people were picking up on the eagle hat before. If you search nazi eagle logo on google images you will see how similar the 2 are.

Well, for one thing, I don't think it looks that great. 

The eagle and the gothic M underneath... meh. It does make me think of a Nazi uniform. I think it is the gothic lettering as well.

I agree with Zeruda, it makes me think a little bit of the Nazi uniforms in Hellboy.

I do think, that when someone is designing military uniforms, they should be pretty careful.

As I stated before I love the design. But I don't like the tan/wood? on the bottom of those black boots. It just clashes with the whole black uniform. lol
