Wait you can immediately tell it’s not the same symbol.
-The item’s symbol has a hollow inside. The one depicted in your pic is heavy black, as you can see that it’s darker than the plane itself.
-The pic shows a heavy, bold white outline. This outline is not present in the item’s symbol.
-Also just of note, the item’s symbol color is red. Isn’t that plane using A black/white color for it’s cross, like the swastika’s color scheme?
That’s the difference between a printed logo and a vinyl sticker, not the emblem itself.
The outline is there, but bold white would have looked silly (from a design standpoint of the saddle)
The Balkenkreuz was typically black and white, but on a red background flag. I’m not sure the company would go all out with a red coloured saddle. Haha!
I honestly feel like you’re making shit up to make a fairly offensive joke. If they were really trying to make the offensive cross, “It would have looked silly” isn’t remotely an argument. Plus white goes on most colors, especially Black which is the color of the item, so there’s no reason it couldn’t have been used.
You’re right. My bad. I’m the asshole.
