The 'bloodstained' variant the company used is associated with the Hong Kong protests; not hard to see why the symbolism might appeal to people who style themselves as anti-government extremists. I'm sure the design's resemblance to the Hawaiian shirts already used by the Booglaoos helps it sell too. The vendor's website acknowledges both forms of symbolism.

A lot of boogaloo boys have a hardon for the hong kong protests, viewing it as a right wing militia standing up to a communist government.

but the problem with that statement is that a lot of boogaloo boys don't think the same way because that's the idea of the movement, freethinking
