Topman 96 shirt: Red top which 'inadvertently mocks Hillsborough disaster' with 'what goes around' slogan is slammed
Topman has come under fire from furious Liverpool fans who claim a red shirt mocks the victims of the Hillsborough disaster.
The top has the words "Karma" down one sleeve and a large '96' on the back along with a rose and the words underneath, "What goes around comes back around."
The design is an apparent reference to a Bob Marley song dating from 1996.
But since the £20 shirt went on sale online it has come to the attention of hundreds of Liverpudlians, who have taken to Twitter to express their disgust.
The Hillsborough Disaster left 96 Liverpool fans dead after a crushing incident at the start of an FA Cup semi-final in April, 1989.
Justice for the 96 tweeted: "So it's a #BobMarley song and it's managed to get through god knows how many people before it's printed.
"Just shows you how few people know about the biggest sporting disaster and cover up this country's ever seen"
Nick Murphy wrote: "Please @Topman - take this off the shelf. An genuine mistake I'm sure but this is insulting and upsetting. #JFT96"
And another fan said on Twitter: "I don't think it's the @Topman design that's the issue, Hillsborough wouldn't have been in their thinking, it's the brain dead people who will end up wearing it for the wrong reasons, and there will be people like that."
Topman has been approached for comment.
