Maybe one of the Tupac/Marley fans can fill us as to the significance, maybe another easter egg to one of their other lesser known hits.

Yes, given its pretty tenuous to say that TIGGBRRED is supposed to say TRIGGERED in the first place.

Even if people think it says "triggered"
What on earth does that word have to do with hillsborough?
EDIT - Also from looking at other product codes 71 seems to be the beginning of all the other t-shirts anyway and the last 3 letters are the colour code so it's not as if they've created a product code just to antagonise the pansies

Was going to ask this.
Red is obviously the colour. There is no second R. Feels like trying too hard

This has nothing to do with hillsborough. Take your tin foil hats off.

Wonder be long before plain white t-shirts are banned because of the KKK!
Only if the serial number is k4kw1te
If I find something offensive then it’s offensive.
If someone else finds something offensive and I don’t find it offensive, they are a SJW snow flake.

No problem, though I don’t know why they keep bringing Bob Marley up, the line on the shirt is different to his lyric which is just the regular karma line.
It’s a Tupac commemoration shirt.
Bob Marley is what TopMan said the top was inspired by.

Topman don't even know what they print these days. They make it up as they go along.... It's called "Art"

Perhaps they altered the lyric slightly for copyright reasons. Hence "inspired".
The KKK took my baby away.

What goes around comes around is a common phrase as regards karma, long before Bob Marley put pen to paper.
The Topman spokesperson won’t have a clue and will just be going with the Marley explanation touted on the web as a means of placating those that have been “71G98RRED” by it. Same with removing it as it’s just not worth the hassle they’ll get if they don’t.

Ah yes, I got the slogan and lyric assbackwards.
Being a long time internet nerd I'm familiar with 1337 speak, and I didn't see the triggered thing.
Just watched a lengthy report on this on the BBC news at one where they showed a picture of the T shirt in question but with the models head pixelated. I have noticed that most faces of children and young people, (is that the politically correct term these days?), when shown on television being hidden and for the life of me I cannot understand why?

Hahaha people offended by things they see in a standard product code which is consistent with all other products on the site. Whatever next.
