In 1988, Ralph Engelstad was criticized for a party he held at his Imperial Palace hotel-casino in Las Vegas featuring bartenders wearing the 'European Tour' shirts.

Sale of the apparel led to a legal case in Germany, in an attempt to have it banned as 'glorifying genocide'. The text read 'European yo-yo champion 1939-1945'. The more famous of the two was the 'Adolf Hitler European Tour' design, which featured a picture of Hitler against the backdrop of a map of Europe, with conquered territories shaded and tour dates given as:ДЄ less popular T-shirt featured Hitler giving the Roman salute, and a yo-yo hanging from his hand.

These musicians are commonly thought to have worn such clothing for shock value directed towards the British WWII generation rather than being genuinely associated with any National Socialist or fascist ideologies, and those with such interests likely became part of the Nazi punk or white power skinhead subcultures. In 1976, Siouxsie Sioux of Siouxsie and the Banshees was also known to wear a Swastika armband with fetish S and M clothing, including fishnets and a whip. Rotten wore the swastika another time with a gesture that looked like a Nazi salute.

In the 1970s punk subculture, several items of clothing designed to shock and offend the Establishment became popular.

Steve Priest, of the glam rock band The Sweet, wore a nazi uniform and fake toothbrush moustache in a December 1973 live performance of ' Block Buster!', on Top of the Pops. In the early 1970s, glam rock acts incorporated nazi symbolism into their works, often for the shock value and outrageousness. American artist Ed Roth sold plastic Nazi stormtrooper helmets to surfers in the 1960s, and told Time magazine, вЂњThat Hitler really did a helluva public relations job for me.вЂќ In the 1960s, some filmmakers looking for edgy and controversial ideas incorporated Nazi themes into their works for shock value, with the 1965 film Censored described as having 'the dubious honour of being the very first skinflick to mix Nazis and naked women' Their motivation was often anti-establishment rebelliousness, rather than genuine sympathy with the Nazis. In the surf culture of the 1950s and 1960s, 'Surf Nazis' would experiment with Nazi aesthetics, such as swastikas and Nazi helmets, and sometimes paint swastikas on their cars.
