Official response: The logo on the top of the Municipal Party Secretary's shirt has been removed: the production personnel are considering aesthetics
On September 3rd, in a research article by Yang, the Secretary of the Nangong Municipal Party Committee, published by Nangong Publishing in Hebei Province, the image of Yang's POLO shirt was suspected to have had his logo removed, sparking speculation among netizens that some questioned the price of this POLO shirt. On the 4th, relevant departments in Nangong City responded to Jimu News that due to concerns about the beauty of the pictures, the production personnel removed the logo on Yang's clothes. The polo shirt was purchased two or three years ago and cost five to six hundred yuan at that time.
On the evening of September 3, the official WeChat official account of the Publicity Department of Nangong Municipal Party Committee "Nangong Release" released the article "Yang Moumou, Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, Investigates the Economic Development Zone". According to the article, on the 3rd, Yang and his team visited Anmeiqiao Cashmere Products Co., Ltd., Hebei Tianfang Duyang Textile Co., Ltd. and other units to investigate the operation of key enterprises and the development of characteristic industries.
The above article is accompanied by three research pictures. In the pictures, Yang is wearing a black polo shirt, but there is a brand logo on the clothes in Figure 1, and there is no logo on the clothes in Figures 2 and 3, which seems to have been removed by P. Netizens have expressed doubts about this. Some people have searched for clothing similar to the POLO shirt in the article on e-commerce platforms, and believe that the price of this POLO shirt is not cheap.

On September 4th, Jimu News contacted the Nangong Municipal Party Committee Office and the Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department to verify the above information. The relevant personnel from the Propaganda Department of the Nangong Municipal Committee replied that Yang and his team did conduct a research activity on September 3, and the description in the article is also objective and true. After preliminary verification, during the production process of the article, the production personnel found that the logo on Yang's POLO shirt in Figures 2 and 3 was too obvious, especially the logo in Figure 3 caused visual conflict with the spinning hammer, which was not aesthetically pleasing. Because the images need to be compressed when uploading, the production personnel also removed the logo on the POLO shirt in these two images during compression. "There is no P image in the picture because the logo is not obvious."
The staff member stated that during the production process of the article, the lack of experience of the production personnel, coupled with lax review and control, led to misunderstandings among netizens. "The modification of images by the production personnel carries a certain degree of subjectivity, which is a bit of 'adding unnecessary details'."

In addition, the staff member stated that they had communicated with relevant leaders and learned that the POLO shirt was purchased two or three years ago under the brand Binbo, which cost five to six hundred yuan at that time. Next, they will further handle this matter.
In addition, the reporter found on the "Nangong Publishing" WeChat official account that Yang had also worn the POLO shirt in a survey in June 2021, and there was no abnormality in the picture of the survey article.
On the 4th, the reporter consulted the customer service of a flagship store on a certain e-commerce platform, Binbo. The customer service stated that the above POLO shirt is an old T-shirt with short sleeves from the brand and is no longer available for sale. Due to its discontinuation, the selling price cannot be checked. The flagship store offers two similar 2023 POLO shirts with discounted prices of 956 yuan and 1081 yuan, respectively.
