Looks like this designer has some real personal issues and the people defending them here (as well as trying to conflate this with the Palestinian cause) should take another look at what kind of person they're defending. Or maybe they agree with the use of this - it's very hard to tell these days.

Kindly explain how the Palestinians are involved in the pajamas matter? nt msanthrope Aug 2014 #60

Do you deny that the star has the word "Sheriff" printed on it? pnwmom Aug 2014 #29

A prominent yellow star on a striped uniform clearly screams "sheriff" LanternWaste Aug 2014 #32

No, the word Sheriff screams Sheriff. n/t pnwmom Aug 2014 #33

The one doesn't deny the other.... LanternWaste Aug 2014 #35

Maybe if the word had been in black or dark blue on the gold. moriah Aug 2014 #38

I agree it was an oversight and should have been corrected. But I disagree with the OP's pnwmom Aug 2014 #40

"victimhood"? n/t tammywammy Aug 2014 #6

Are you referring to The Sheriff Star of David? Sheldon Cooper Aug 2014 #28

Except the star has the word Sheriff printed on it. n/t pnwmom Aug 2014 #30

Yep, and all the sheriffs in the Old West ran around in striped pajama tops. Sheldon Cooper Aug 2014 #34

Weird. Granted, the star has the word "sheriff" on it, Nye Bevan Aug 2014 #7

Also. Isn't the sheriff's star a five pointed star not a six pointed one like Cleita Aug 2014 #16

Both five and six pointed stars are used csziggy Aug 2014 #19

That would have been much better. eom Cleita Aug 2014 #20

Also, 7-pointed stars. Chan790 Aug 2014 #31

If you google "sheriff star" you find a ton of six-pointed stars gollygee Aug 2014 #44

Maybe with a five pointed Texas star. Downwinder Aug 2014 #8

Then people would have been saying it was Satanic. ;) moriah Aug 2014 #22

This is horrifying. If they wanted it to resemble a badge they could have used another form. jwirr Aug 2014 #14

It's not "horrifying". sibelian Aug 2014 #47

My first reaction was that it was a sheriff's star Ms. Toad Aug 2014 #15
