T-shirt removed over backlash

Topman has removed a T-shirt from its stores and website after its design caused a Hillsborough backlash.

The red shirt had the word “Karma” down one sleeve and a large “96” on the back. Ninety-six Liverpool fans died in the Hillsborough disaster in 1989. Topman said the design was inspired by a Bob Marley track but when the £20 shirt went on sale, Liverpool fans were quick to express anger on social media. A Topman spokeswoman said: “Topman apologises unreservedly for any offence caused.”
