Remember those Semi-Truck mudflaps

w/ a silhouette of a sitting nude lady?

This kinda/sorta has the same vibe.

(growing up in the Midwest, I saw these everywhere!)

or....

The ‘Wild, Wild West’ video by The Escape Club.

My fitness club just showed this video yesterday!

Sport and Style are Inseparable

Born in Italy in 1967, Kappa is a leading sportswear brand worn by the world’s biggest teams and brightest stars.

Kappa produces distinctive slimline apparel for football, basketball, volleyball, autoracing, skiing, sailing, golf, fencing and martial arts. Its streetwear collections reflect its northern Italian roots.

The “Omini” logo stands for quality, humanity and authenticity.

Kappa is a part of the BasicNet Group, which also includes Robe di Kappa®, K-Way®, Superga®, Lanzera® and Jesus Jeans® brands.

The Omini Logo

Kappa’s “Omini” logo pictures the silhouette of a man and woman leaning against each another. It represents the equality of men and women and their mutual support.

The logo was created quite by accident during a photoshoot for a bathing suit advertisement for Beatrix in 1969. The silhouette cast by the backlighting of a man and woman leaning against one another seems to say something. The idea grew into what is now the logo for the Kappa and Robe di Kappa brands and a recognized symbol of quality and style.

Don't know how I missed this but I like the part about the man and woman learning back against each other and this representing equality of men and women and their mutual support! Very cool!

Not sure I have seen or heard of the brand but boy do I find those mud flaps offensive.

Never heard of the brand. Don't care for the logo all over the clothing.

These are distasteful, but l've seen them on many vehicles driven by males. Lol.

I do not remember this clothing line at all. I would never wear such tacky clothes that look like they have a design that is on truck mud flaps either.

I've never seen this design. At a glance the logo reminded of Charlie's Angels. 😂 Not interested in buying for myself, but it does look like something Nordstrom would offer.

I find the logo unappealing. I thought it was two women, neither looked in any way masculine, and would have thought it had something to do with a feminist organization.
