It would all heavily depend on what the design is. As a former skinhead myself, I make it my personal mission to raise awareness to the vast majority of the world that do not know that there are two types of skinheads; racist skinheads (the idiots that most people know of and despise), and NON-RACIST skinheads (the ORIGINAL skinheads). Skinheads came directly from the Rude Boy culture in Jamaica in the late 50's and early 60's, and a good majority of skinheads were, and still are, black and ethnic. When Jamaicans started to immigrate to the UK in the late 60's and early 70's, the Rude Boy culture mixed with the growing rock and punk scene, and this is essentially where Skinheads came from. The image of the Non-Racist Skinheads was pretty much irreparably busted when the National Front in England started to enlist the more rowdy of the skinheads and the ones that were latently racist to begin with and basically turned them into a thug army. Nowadays, most people are completely unaware that there is even such a thing as a Non-Racist Skinhead, which MOST of the skinheads that you will ever see, are. The racist faction is a small and pathetic one.
