In my worthless opinion it's not intended to be a Nazi takeoff, merely a symbol of American jingoism. This does not take away from the fact that WWE's brass and the US government are still incredibly bigoted, closed minded and xenophobic. Thank you for reading

Yeah, the reality is that the eagle has a long history in military and government imagery which means it has a ton of history in fascist imagery which means its all tangled up. If you're a graphic designer it would be wise to avoid using the eagle if you don't want to conjure up since imagery because many people will draw such associations. If you're hired to design like a jewish soccer league logo and you submit an eagle perched on a soccer ball you shouldn't be surprised if the customer ends up angry. On the flip side a lot of people who do use it are using it for the same reasons fascists do even if they're specifically conjuring up that association (which they sometimes are). So again, WWE probably didn't purposely re-design the US title to be secret nazi imagery or otherwise political/fascist agendas. But it is an image associated with fascism and jingoism and we're having laughs at their expense and even if 1 out of 10 times we point out something potentially racist they do we're being "unfair" and reading into things that doesn't bother me because the other 9 times it was totally racist.

Sure is wild the company keeps having totally accidental racist moments that could happen to anyone and benefit of the doubt must always be given to. Should probably do something about that one of these days!

It seems possible that Undertaker didn't know the shirts were nazi shirts when he got them on the grounds of "biker poo poo." Its plausible that in 2020 with twitter and google he remains blissfully ignorant to them. But if he knows and "doesn't care" then that kind of makes him a nazi.

I figured it was probably a reference to the WCW belt, but sure let's go with secret subconscious nazi instead.

Man do I hate how many feuds are starting because the champion lost a match that was mysteriously non-title. MVP, the heel, is completely right that he's the rightful champion! Also, I enjoy every time there's a ridiculous kayfabe expense. Like, it's not the WWE United States title, MVP just made this title to taunt Apollo and WWE immediately recognised it as the official title. Every champion who makes their own design is a kayfabe horrible mark for themselves, which makes the ugly Jeff Hardy TNA title at least understandable.

The title probably looked more like this (excuse my lazy as gently caress photoshop)  Then the conversation probably went like: Vince: "Damnit, how are people going to know that they are the CHAMPION, make CHAMPION even BIGGER!" Belt Guy: "But sir, if we do that, we'll cut off the top of the wings and then it will look...." Vince: "I don't care, the word CHAMPION should span across the entire title. Edit: I actually just realized that the title does have the proper number of stars and stripes at least. Astro7x fucked around with this message at 06:03 on Jul 7, 2020 |

At the start of this year I did not think MVP would be having title matches on PPV. Then again I didn't think there'd be a pandemic, police brutality race riots, and a wave 2 of metoo in literally every hobby I'm into this year either.

Them actually managing to work in all 50 stars in a way that doesn't come off as "too much" (which is how i'd classify most of the rest of it) is maybe the only commendable thing about this design.
