Description
We review the importance of flavor symmetries for new physics explanations of the anomalous Tevatron top quark pair forward-backward asymmetries. A new hypercolor strong interaction is introduced which can explain the asymmetries via the exchange of flavor multiplets of vector meson and new up-type quark bound states. Consistency with LHC observables is maintained.
