That font's 4 looks super weird though. From the thumbnail I immediately saw the SS bolts without even reading the title.

Same, I thought it was an April Fools' joke at first.

Why in the name of Deity do those shirt designers always insist on illegible novelty fonts that look like garbage? Just put Helvetica or Futura or, heck, OCR-B on there, make sure the kerning is correct, and be done.

My theory is that designers are extremely afraid that someone might notice that many areas have had enough design already and don't really need a redesign every couple of years.

This. Most redesign is for re-selling, often with no improvement

I vote that we only use binary to be safe.

In binary the eight letter of the alphabet is still the eight letter of the alphabet.

Wasn't that designed like that intentionally? Was there any word on this from the typography designer?...

The pink is only the away colour? What a shame

Poor Lewis Hamilton fans. Or is this for football only?

"... after media raised their resemblance to the symbol used by World War Two-era Nazi SS units." This is just stupidity raised by media. As always.

I mean it literally looks like the SS symbol
