Witnesses confirmed toady that actor/comedian Michael Richards, known for his loveable Kramer character on the hit TV show Seinfeld, was in fact NOT wearing a “Lucha” t-shirt when he made racist remarks at a comedy club in Los Angeles two weeks ago.

The widely publicized digital-camera video footage of Richards’ performance clearly depicts the comedian unleashing a barrage of racial slurs at two black hecklers in the audience. But the grainy video quality has prevented a clear view of what Richards was wearing on stage. Only now are reports surfacing that the comic’s shirt was indeed not a “Lucha Workshop” brand.

One witness described it as a purple ill-fitting collared dress-shirt with the sleeves rolled up.

“It didn’t have any awesome design on it,” said eyewitness Damien Hedge. “It was just this drab purple thing. Looked like he just found it in a dumpster and put it on.”

Actor/comedian Paul Rodriguez, also in attendance, confirmed these reports stating that the shirt was in fact ugly, and added: “To tell you the truth, I was far more offended by what he was wearing than by what he said.”

Although Richards’ publicist was not available for comment, The Chairman of the American Nazi Party issued a public statement praising the comedian, and also stating, “The purple collared dress shirt is and always shall be the uniform of Aryan revolutionaries.”

Richards later appeared on the David Letterman show to apologize for his on-stage tirade wearing a dark blue collared dress-shirt – once again, not a product sold by “Lucha Workshop.”

“Had he been wearing a Lucha Workshop t-shirt when he delivered that apology he would have seemed at least a tad bit sincere,” said civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton. “Maybe, just maybe, I might have considered accepting his apology.”
