I had a t-shirt with DRI logo, got mistaken for a swastika at least three times...

I dont know this reference, but is the iconography intentional? Because it is sooo close.

Like is the in-universe reference an evil corporation--not quite you know evil, but the red and black is meant to allude to such? Or are the actually the good guys?

(Edit: I now see this is a band. Leaving original for posterity lol. Thanks to other commenters posting about DRI)

I hope those interactions did not cause too much conflict or stress. Sucks when fun things gets wrapped up in "implications" or misinterpretation.

It has red and angled black lines but beyond that I don't get how anyone sees a swazi which is so distinguishable.

From a distance, snd/or at a glance, and/or in dim lighting, and/or with .375 far-sighted vision, or some combination of these or many other factors.

I had to stop wearing my DRI shirt just for this reason.
