Ralph Lauren Corp. apologized for using a black fraternity's symbols on a pair of chinos following complaints, and said the pants are no longer available for sale.
The pants retailed for 299.99 euros and featured the fraternity's symbols on the back left pant leg.
Andrea Hence Evans, a legal representative for the fraternity, said Tuesday that her firm was investigating and that the organization was"shocked and appalled" that Ralph Lauren would violate the fraternity's trademarks without consent. A spokeswoman for the fashion brand told NBC News in a statement Monday that the use of the symbols on the chinos was"an oversight" for which the company deeply apologized and that it had taken immediate action to stop selling them.
