This symbology carriers way too much baggage to be used in my opinion, and opens the club up to a host of allegations and accusations and is just generally off putting.
On a personal note, I find it offensive, but that is not why I write what I did above. No matter your personal beilefs, you cannot escape the fact that this symbol now represents for most racist hatred, terror, and murder.
In fact, such a display may violate the law in Germany and could technically constitute a crime for our German members.
I would submit that such a question of usage has to be decided by Jim vK.

Hi Larry,
Never meant to offend (I got the image from the background of the website for the tournament - and did not design it myself - although I would not have thought of it myself, I don't want to be insensitive).
How does everyone else feel? Do I need to redesign?
