[QUOTE="Which Tyler, post: 1053924, member: 73592"] As far as I'm aware (and I reserve the right to be wrong here), the Fez isn't particularly culturally sensitive / mystical / religious, and isn't venerated by any particular group with centuries of being on the shitty end of one-sided oppression / genocide / ethnic cleansing perpetrated to today. Equally the Fez is not just one amongst a bunch of racist stereotypes/images and appropriated names/images exploited by Saracens. Saracens have generally preferred to p[COLOR=rgb(0, 0, 0)]i[/COLOR]ss people off by being generally obnoxious, "something special", "they're all against us", promoting themselves in other people's back yards and salary cap cheating (we really need a tongue-in-cheek emoji). Thirdly, I think they've dropped pretty much all use of the Fez anyway. Finally, and again this is "as far as I'm aware" - nobody with a cultural link to Fez wearing has complained about Saracens' use of it. [/QUOTE]
