Using a symbol that happened to also be used by someone who did evil doesn't make you evil, nor should it suggest you condone or support what they did. I have a couple Indepentdent Truck Company shirts because I used to skateboard, and I still wear them regularly. The Maltese cross was around long before Hitler, and I don't even associate it with him or his hatred.
