STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Whether it's a reference to the former Fresh Kills Landfill or Staten Island being not as "cool" as the rest of the city, American Eagle has paired the perpetually dirty and dusty character from the Peanuts gang with Staten Island on a pink sweatshirt.

While American Eagle paired Staten Island with "Pig Pen" -- known for his inability to be clean -- on its logo shirt, the Brooklyn sweatshirt pictures "Joe Cool."

Should Staten Islanders be offended? What is American Eagle trying to tell us?

The sweatshirt is one of several being marketed by the popular retailer with New York Logos:

A red Brooklyn sweatshirt with Snoopy wearing sunglasses and a "Joe Cool" shirt.

A white Manhattan NYC sweatshirt with Charlie Brown and Linus leaning on a brick wall.

A blue New York City sweatshirt with Snoopy holding a pizza.

A green New York sweatshirt with Lucy pictured on it.

And then there's the Staten Island pink sweatshirt with "Pig Pen."

Sarcasm? Are we reading into the "dirty" reference? Tell us what you think in the comments section below.

A spokesperson from American Eagle didn't immediately respond to Advance phone calls about the sweatshirt.
