Oh and as a bolstering of my comments above (top of Page 11)...

Did you know that Nike had the following shirts made, and FULLY INTENDED to keep them in production?



The only reason they pulled them off the shelves was that the Boston Marathon Bombings happened a few weeks (or a few months, or a year or so, I'm not certain) after the release of the shirts. However, had those bombings NOT occurred, you could find these shirts, ostensibly mocking one of the most tragic events in American history (the 1770 event), aimed at a couple of baseball sweeps, worn and sold to this day.
quote:

Nike has pulled a sports T-shirt emblazoned with the bloodied words “Boston Massacre” in the wake of last Monday’s marathon bombings. A spokesman for Nike told ABC News the retailer has now pulled all of the “Boston Massacre” shirts from their outlet stores, as well as from large online retailers like Fanatics Inc. (ABC News)

The sweeps came to be known colloquially among fans of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry as the first and second “Boston massacres.”
