Last week, the Navajo nation sued Urban Outfitters for trademark infringement, trademark dilution, unfair competition, and a violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act for selling products branded as ?Navajo? at its stores. The products? ?Hipster Panties,? socks, and of all things, a flask. Yes, a flask. Complaint here.
The incredible un-coolness of that just stuns me. Urban Outfitters should know better than to use a Native American tribe?s name on its products without permission. But, to not only misappropriate the Navajo nation?s name, but to put it on a flask? Really? Really?
I?m certainly not the most politically correct guy, and I won?t be winning any sensitivity awards this year. But, you don?t need to be an anthropologist to have a clue about what a toll alcoholism has had on the Native American population. Urban Outfitters are a bunch of dicks. I hope the Navajos kick their ass.
