Oxford United pulls new clothing line off shelves after backlash over 9/11 reference

Oxford United has withdrawn a new clothing range from sale and issued an apology after featuring the text "United 93" on the back of the items. The design caused controversy because it matches the call sign of one of the hijacked aircraft involved in the September 11 terrorist attacks. The club stated that the clothing was originally intended to highlight its founding year of 1893. In its official apology, the club admitted that the items were released without understanding of the historical context and associations linked to the number.
