Urban Outfitters asked to stop selling tapestry resembling Holocaust uniform

The Anti-Defamation League asked Urban Outfitters Monday to remove a product from their shelves the group calls "eerily reminiscent" of uniforms that gay, male prisoners were forced to wear during the Holocaust.

The product in question is a tapestry featuring a gray-and-white striped pattern and pink triangles, according to a statement from the ADL.

The statement called the item "deeply offensive" and said it "should not be mainstreamed into popular culture."

USA TODAY Network reached out to Urban Outfitters for comment, but they could not be reached.

It is unclear how widely available the tapestry is for sale. The ADL said they spotted the product in a Boulder, Colo., store. Bloomberg reported Tuesday that the item was still for sale for $69 at a New York location.

This is not the first time Urban Outfitters has received criticism for selling products deemed insensitive.

The company apologized in September for selling a Kent State University sweatshirt that appeared to have blood splatter on it. Some felt the item was an attempt to profit from the 1970 shootings on the campus by the National Guard that left four students dead.

In 2012, the ADL criticized the company for selling a shirt that featured what they said resembled a Star of David.
