Jezebel asked Urban Outfitters what the meaning of ‘Obama/Black.’ A rep finally answered back:
Many customers have brought to our attention one of the color names listed for our BDG Burnout Henley, and rightfully so. We screwed up, and are sincerely sorry. The burnout pattern on this shirt is comprised of two colors – one is an internally developed color we called “Obama Blue” and the other is “Black”. Unfortunately our website database truncated this combination to read “Obama/Black.” We should have caught the error, and apologize for offending anyone.
Rebecca does not like biographies. They are stupid and she would rather spend her time editing the site. Which she does with great vigor.
