Have the SSPX vestments changed? I now see vestments with blue on white with their "Two Hearts" symbol embroidered on them. I don't remember ever seeing the hearts symbol on vestments prior to this year. Is this new or was I just unobservant in the past?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but that doesn't sound good to me.
I realize their "logo" is pious, but it's still their logo. So all during Mass, instead of seeing something "generic" that evokes Christ (whom the priest represents) like IHS, a cross, or a lamb being sacrificed, you get a constant reminder that this Mass is brought to you by the SSPX (tm).
It could be part of their re-branding campaign -- everything is now consistent and showing a similar "look & feel": websites, publications, publishing house, and now...their Masses.
But perhaps some pious old lady made the vestments with no bad intention? Even if this is the case, it was very poor judgment and very poor timing. The re-branding campaign is indeed a reality.
