...or is the Columbia logo a swastika? At work, I got in the elevator with a guy wearing a Columbia hat, and immediately noticed that it looked like a nazi collar insignia (shown in picture), and upon closer inspection, noticed that in fact, the bars in the logo form a swastika in the middle. Let me know what you think (other than that I have way too much time on my hands).

Well, that's what I meant. If you look at the center lines of their logo, it most certainly forms a swastika. I put up the pic of the collar tab as a reference, as that was what the logo reminded me of.

First thing I said when I saw my friends columbia wallet he got for x-mas was "WTF was that a swastika!?!?". He just laughed and said he thought the same at first when he saw it. Yea take a quick glance and youll have to do a double take on those damn things, good products though.
