Penn State says it has received six complaints about the shirt, including one from the Anti-Defamation League's Philadelphia branch, from people who say it connotes a Christian cross. The logo design also has become the focus of controversy in the student newspaper, The Daily Collegian, which has received several letters to the editor on both sides of the issue.

"At first glance, you don't necessarily think that's what it looks like, but when you look at it more, it does look like a cross."For crying out loud, if you look at ANYTHING long enough it can morph into whatever you want to see! We feel sorry for people who spend their lives finding things about which to be offended.
