The Nazi swastika and the shirt both show right facing swastikas.



Here's a left handled swastika in a circle on a red background. Its on a Buddhist temple in Korea. You make a point about the 45 degree angle, though. I guess one out of four isn't that bad.

Since symbols often have many meanings, which meaning is more relevant; its meaning to the maker, its meaning to the user, or its meaning to the observer?
