Within hours, the parent company said the shirts would be "destroyed."
@TheFoooFangirl We honestly apologize, it was inspired by the sheriff’s stars from the Classic Western films and is no longer in our stores

The company quickly took to Twitter to apologize individually to users who criticized the company for the item.
