Yes, it could be mistaken for a sig rune although it clearly differs
(the rune is not formed as an arrow on the bottom but is symmetric). I
would not use two of this or similar symbols side by side because it
could easily be seen as a political statement I definitely don't want
to make. But on the other hand there are a lot of other (admittedly
less known) runes and symbols used by the SS or other Nazi
organizations that we use on a daily basis probably without even
knowing it... (e.g. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runic_insignia_of_the_Schutzstaffel#mediaviewer/File:Tiwaz_rune.svg)

So thanks for bringing this up - it is a valid concern - but I draw the
line not to cross elsewhere.
