Why are we even mentioning Park Slope moms? This store is in Cobble Hill. Cobble Hill moms are way more mellow than PS moms.

hey cucarachita, are you going to keep shopping at UO after discovering that moms are wearing their clothes now?

Okay, well, when mothers start wearing Urban Outfitters, you know it's time to find something else to wear. Goodbye UO! Good luck dressing momsters!

Once upon a time, Urban Outfitters was doing some really fresh and intelligent stuff, design-wise. Once upon a time.

This looks like it was made by that big mamaluke Marty Markowitz.

Separately I happen to love in descending order Biggie, The Brooklyn Bridge,Jackie Robinson, the Big Apple logo,the Daily News and old BMT signs. Yet together, they some how raise my hackles.

Brooklyn Dodgers people!!! Jesus fuck learn some NYC history. It's no wonder why native New Yorkers hate carpet-bagging hipsters and yuppies.

Are they setting themselves up for a lawsuit from MLB?

Is there a post I could care less about? Urban Outfitters catches on fire might pique tho. Urban outfitters blatantly rips off tshrt designs from small online designers: It's pretty incredible how douchey they are, lookit here http://urbncounterfeiters.blogspot.com/

Urban outfitters had the old 1970's white sox logo printed on shirts in chicago. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k8/whitesox7896/White_Sox.gif they were awesome, are awesome and this is awesome too.

linkman; unfortunately, the red sox 'B' is almost identical to the dodgers' old 'B'. probably would have been a bit more prudent for them to use this dodgers logo, ca. 1912: http://www.mickeysplace.com/images/bky12r.jpg (ignore the disgusting 5950 sticker)

I take it back. Art is right. That little white triangle on the left side distinguishes the Brooklyn Dodgers B from the Boston Red Sox B.

Um, hello? Not only did they use the Yankees logo for the N, they used the Boston Red Sox logo for the B.

Unbelievable you don't know this, but learn something new every day. On the left image the 'B' in Brooklyn is the emblem of the old Brooklyn Dodgers. It is a classic. There is nothing more Brooklyn than that 'B'. And if you look at the image on the right you will see Jackie Robinson on the lower left of the tote wearing the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball cap with its emblematic Brooklyn 'B'.

this looks like it's prep work for when they open an urban outfitters at New York, New York in las vegas.

Yes, I can't wait till the day PS moms start to petition for a law to make every store "stroller-friendly." ala the American with Disabilities Act. I'd call it the "Privilege Moms with Whiny Toddlers Act"

Bit of a faux pas doing the Yanks and not the Mets, but hell, as a Yankee fan, I like it. The lawsuit will actually come from MLB, or perhaps some twitchy Shea refugees...

It seems like Urban Outfitters is going out of their way to have native NYers NOT shop there. Maybe they prefer to have a douchebag-only customer base. OK - I'm almost positive thats what they're going for.

Not only did they have an interesting pick for the N in Bklyn, I can't wait for the additional lawsuit that I'm sure is already being drafted! Not that the mets wouldn't do the same--but I for one would like the bag more...
