UK retailer Topman came under fire from Liverpool fans after selling a red shirt with the number "96", and the words "what goes around" and "karma".
Some Liverpool fans felt the shirt referred to the Hillsborough stadium disaster in 1989, in which 96 people died.
While some believe that it actually refers to a Bob Marley song.
That topman shirt is the title of a Bob Marley song released in 1996. A very unfortunate coincidence. pic.twitter.com/eq58IMoSBQ

That “96” jumper from Topman is absolutely shocking. I’m sure whoever designed it has no knowledge of Hillsborough but surely someone should have realised this was a terrible idea. pic.twitter.com/ARV23BDDeG
