Who could ever forget the “Juan at Walmart” shirt? This is not the first time Urban Outfitters has delved into this mess. KOTO/UO version has it facing to the left.” Voto also shared the UFW’s trademark status: Here is what their account has said so far: “FYI: The original UFW logo does have the eagles head facing to the the right. Voto Latino is already trying to get more information and updates, so for the latest you can check in with them on Facebook. …this is NOT a fashion statement…period! It is a symbol of a labor movement that hits home to many of us!”

“Lawsuit! It is a copy no matter what way the head is facing…I walked alongside F.L.O.C. “that is just wrong they should be made to pay 50 percent of every sale to the farmworkers, it is their logo not some sweat shop owner” “Bootlegging your logo for profit its what gringos do.” Not all Caucasians are as messed up as the ones you know some of us stand with our Latino brothers and sisters. to see this just makes me mad, so many people in the sixties fought for freedom under that sign, it probably still makes the grape growers in Cali squirm. they were some of the greatest people I have ever met. “I was lucky enough to have quite a few Mexican friends when I was growing up in So Cali. Response to the shirt has already gotten reaction on Voto’s Facebook: Latino Rebels August 5, Thxs! I reached out to someone at UFW but they haven’t responded. CC: Steve Alfaro August 5, we are on it and will h/t you guys for this find, wow

Urban Outfitters is mass producing the #UFW logo with a small edit. Voto Latino’s Steve Alfaro also tweeted it out: The UFW logo was first designed in 1962 by Cesar Chavez, Richard and Manuel Chavez. I took a look at the tags and there was zero mention of the UFW or the history of the logo. This weekend I was surprised to see the well-known logo of the United Farm Workers on a shirt at Urban Outfitters in DC.
