Oh I know FB. Its a historical thing for me, I am just old enough to remember WW2 and I certainly remember those that survived it. Black(and brown) shirts have bad, very bad, connotations that go with that grim time and I can't help it and even to this day, they just turn my mind to very negative thoughts.

For yourself Jock, as well as for others with a similar history, I can see how black shirts have very bad connotations and arguably the same goes for solid brown shirts. I respect where you are coming from as a military veteran and can certainly appreciate it as a veteran (of a very different war) myself.
Kindest regards,

I know this is off topic, but ...
As a Boy Scout leader here in Ohio, I have to tell younger folks - parents and scouts alike - that the reference to a uniformed scout or scouter as a "brown shirt" could elicit a terse reply, if not outright anger.
