T Shirt

Urban Outfitters Inc. said Monday it never stocked or sold a controversial T-shirt with a pocket patch that resembled a symbol worn by Jews in Nazi Europe, while the shirt's Danish manufacturer said a photo featuring the embroidery on Urban's website "must be an early sample" of a prototype that was never, ultimately, made. The T-shirt's symbol. The Philadelphia-based retailer would not explain how a photo of the yellow cotton Kellog tee with a six-pointed blue star on a chest pocket ended up on its website for $100, but spokesman Ed Looram said the online image would be replaced with a "correct" and pocketless version of the shirt, made by Denmark-based Wood Wood.

Hayne, chairman and chief executive of the retail corporation headquartered at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

In a North Philadelphia salon, Steven Washington, a big man with closely cropped hair that gets cut weekly, was going on about the attributes of long locks. Not because he was thinking of growing his. He was explaining the reasoning behind forming his new company, I Love Remy Hair Inc., in August, and why he's confident it's going to make him a millionaire in a little more than a year. "No matter what happens, people still want to look good," Washington asserted. He's helping women do so as he looks to capitalize on a flourishing fashion trend: hair weaves.

The newest brouhaha over young women's apparel concerns retailer Forever 21's "Allergic to Algebra" T-shirt. This comes on the heels of J.C. Penney's T-shirt faux pas. The "I am too pretty for homework so my brother has to do it for me" quip so offended men and women alike that the company quickly pulled the product and issued a formal apology. I don't want to linger on the sexist nature of these messages. As the mother of two daughters, I have screened the writing on their clothing for years, looking for any one-liners that diminish them as girls.

ST. LOUIS - LeSean McCoy was just a little bit sheepish when he pulled on a T-shirt in the locker room after the game, a Superman T-shirt. "It's the only shirt I have with me," he explained. It was an all-around interesting day for McCoy.

McCoy ended the day with 122 yards on 15 carries and a rushing TD of 49 yards to go with the 7-yard receiving TD. But most of the rushing yards came in big, fourth-quarter chunks as the Eagles ate clock.
