I don't know if people have thoguht tp go as far as putting ears on them, but there is something close....

It is the same as the mickey ears anyway, just smaller and no neck strap. It's not worth the complaints.
I searched and found that one too. After I thought about it for a while I came up with the same conclusion; the Mickey ear hats are basically the same shape already just a little larger. I suppose what could stop a person from buying a child-size one and "claiming" it was a yarmulke.

Some wear them and some don't due to different sects of the Religion however I am pretty certain they all wear it when in a Synagogue.

And as mentioned previously, putting mouse ears on them would be like having Mickey Mouse nailed to a crucifix lol

Reform Jews like our family are not required to wear yarmulkes in synagogue. Sometimes my hubby and son do, and sometimes they do not.

My son has a yarmulke with a Mets logo on it, and I'm sure he'd love one with a mouse ears pattern imprinted on it, but I would certainly never consider the mouse ears on a head-covering of the same shape to be a yarmulke.

I doubt it. There are some really cute yarmulkes for kids.

I don't know if it is licensed! But I don't doubt that it is real.
Just look at the terribly cut and glued on Harry Potter logo on the back. If it was real it would be embroidered. Plus the patch on the front is the artwork exclusive to the PS video game. I can assure you it is fake.

I doubt you have even see the outfits they wear so you have no idea what I am talking about.

You know, I don't come to Disney forums to point out the foolish things people say; but if you're going to continue to make blind assumptions based on Internet posts so you can spout about your position on a trivial subject I can be persuaded.

Not really sure why you felt the undying need to comment on it in the first place lol had nothing to do with you.

Psssst You're on a forum buddy. When you make a public post people are liable to talk about it. As a US citizen (which you referenced in the first post that I quoted on the matter) my view on is entirely relevant since, you know, I'm actually here to witness the fashion trend that you are referencing.

Mouse Ear yarmulkes...

Ok, before you start yelling I am not Jewish and do not know all the rules of the culture. I am in no way trying to be predigest and I absolutely admit to being ignorant. The last time I was at WDW I saw lots of people wearing yarmulkes, seemed like far more than I had seen previously. So it got me thinking that if something was offered it could be a big market for Disney. So would a mickey ear yarmulke be considered offensive? I know I've seen them with logos or patterns on them (like the Yankees logo for example) but I didn't know if there was a line as to how far you could go. I know this would bring up the issue of if Disney is catering to the Jewish religion they should cater to all religions, which I absolutely agree with, this was just the first thought I had.

So again, call me an idiot, say it's a horrible idea, whatever you want, but I am absolutely not trying to be offensive or disrespectful in any way. It was just a thought I had and wondered how it would be perceived.
Flawless victory to the guy who wears one to temple.

Even though you said in your first post that this particular trend is not happening in the US with your 'if we do' which tells me you have not seen it.

Besides I don't really care anymore, it was a passing comment yet you seemed to have turned this insignificant thing into something for some unknown reason. So lets end it here and get back on topic.

Thank you for the input. I figured there had to be someone on here that knew about the religion and what would be acceptable or not.

It may not be an official licensed product, but it could very well be a real product - not a photoshop. The area where I grew up has a VERY large Jewish population - of a variety of types. I have been to bar mitzvhas, temple, seders, and I had more jewish cooking than you can imagine and have been in many a jewish owned shop. When I was a kid, many of my Jewish friends had "decorated" yarmulkas. They may not have been officialy licensed, but people would make them and sell them. Heck, I remember my one friend had a space invaders one - I don't think Namco was in the religious wear business. I dont think one with ears (or anything else for that matter) sticking up would be OK, but just about any design seems to be OK. They seems to be a lot of latitude in them, as opposed to other Jewsih religious items (tellfin and titzik for example) that have specific materials and sizes.

Now, I am not Jewish, but I have had many discussions with friends about things such as this - it interests me.

Edit: Williams, Williams made Space Invaders

Actually, "if we do" was inserted to weaken your baseless point of view, since a cornerstone of American philosophy is letting people do what they want to do within the law. Wherever you're from and whatever belief system gave you the opinion that the Americans shouldn't have a particular legal fashion trend present is irrelevant.

If you don't want something "insignifcant" being turned into a "thing" either 1) think before you post in the future or 2) restrict presenting your opinions to avenues where you'll be 100% supported, since discourse of any kind seems to send you running to the hills. :rolleyes:;)
