Is it permissible to wear a piece of clothing with "evil geniuses" written on it in English if the phrase refers to the name of an e-sports team?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The phrase "geniuses of evil" is reprehensible both legally (in Islamic law) and rationally. Its reprehensibility increases if it symbolizes a disbelieving (kāfir) team. It is not for a Muslim to glorify disbelievers by wearing their symbols. One must ensure that foreign writings on clothing are free from glorifying disbelievers or containing vulgar meanings. Purchasing a piece of clothing at an exorbitant price merely because it carries such a symbol is considered extravagance.
