American Eagle Breaks Their Silence And Defense Sydney Sweeney Over Controversial American Eagle Ad, What Are Your Thoughts?

Question

After American Eagle revealed that Sydney Sweeney is the face of their new jeans campaign with the tagline "Sydney Sweeney has great jeans" (obviously a pun on "great genes"), the brand has faced major backlash. “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans,” the company said Friday in a statement obtained by The Post. “Her jeans. Her story. We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way,” the statement continued. “Great jeans look good on everyone.” Sweeney and American Eagle faced backlash earlier this week after the blonde-haired, blue-eyed “White Lotus” starlet appeared in a new denim ad for the popular clothing and accessories retailer. “I have great jeans… now you can too,” the “Euphoria” actress wrote on Instagram on July 23, alongside a video for the controversial campaign. The tagline which was seemingly a pun on the word “genes,” had some social media users comparing the marketing move to “Nazi propaganda.” However, American Eagle’s stock rose more than 10% immediately after the new campaign kicked off on July 23. Sweeney herself has yet to respond to the backlash and controversy caused by her “Great Jeans” ad campaign.

What are your thoughts on American Eagle responds to the backlash?

I literally didn’t see the ad until the media talked about it.

I heard it got negative attention from The Right claiming, “Woke” and The Left claiming, “Eugenics”.

This caught my attention… I saw the ad and I think it was purposely done to be questionable in the ‘political sphere’.

All media groups commented on it so, I believe they did this on purpose.
Calling it “Woke” and having others “Eugenics” is incredible. Would be an incredible blunder if done by accident, so I believe it was purpose to give a buzz of American Eagle.

They got us hook line and sinker, since here we are still discussing it.

Yeah, it's crap jeans. Indian sourced cotton, and Indian exploited slave labour in its supply chains, also the dyes are poor quality and likely toxic to boot. Plus the product is overpriced and not worth it compared to competitors.

So it Is like America - the sordid reality is not shown, only the glamourous marketed image.

No one had a problem with Beyonce. Seems that Sweeney is being racial targeted because she's a young blonde blue eyed thin attractive white woman. They think that only obese black women and transgender women should try to sell jeans to women.

I’m not sure I can buy it. “Her jeans. Her story.” Really? I didn’t see her story. I saw her tits. A lot. But not her story.
