Abstract
T-Shirt designed and marketed by clothing retailer Abercrombie and Fitch. The shirt is bold orange in color and bears the
phrase, 'It's all relative in West Virginia,' in blue in front of an outline of the state. The shirts made national news in
March 2004 when West Virginia Governor Bob Wise wrote a letter to Abercrombie and Fitch demanding that they discontinue sales
of the t-shirts. Wise criticized the company for depicting 'an unfounded, negative stereotype' of the state.
