Here comes the second installment of "OMG: No they didn't", bringing you wacky and weird news from the world of fashion.

When i  envision Policemen , designer men's fashion labels aren't the first thing that comes to mind. Well now Police officials in Berlin have actually banned  police from wearing ten fashion labels while on duty. The banned brands include, Fred Perry, Ben Sherman, ACAB, Alpha Industries, Consdaple, Lonsdale, Pit Bull, Outlaw, Troublemaker, and Thor Steinar. The rationale behind the ban is that these labels are popular among neo-nazis and that police offices may be associated with right-wing ideals if they wear these brands.

Although, some of these brands do have links to Neo-Nazism,  by lumping all of these  labels together  it  will bring loads of negative publicity to companies such as Ben Sherman and Fred Perry both of whom have spoken out against Neo-Nazism. Lonsdale has also distanced themselves from extremist groups by sponsoring Anti Racism events and campaigns, and by refusing to deliver products to known neo-Nazi retailers. They even launched a campaign in 2003 called, "Lonsdale Loves All Colours", which saw  a subsequent decline in their popularity among right wing groups.

I think this whole fashion- blacklisting is not a good idea because while some labels might support these ideologies, It will also cause some consumers to stop buying some brands that have nothing to do with Neo-Nazis.
