So I have something to add to this page. Something that none of you probably know, but I own a business that sells custom Nike Elite socks. My business/brand is WizardSocks as you'll see. I design all of the socks myself and then sell them as obvious as that sounds. But recently I noticed that another seller has completely stolen my "Ice Cream" design and is now selling it. There have been people who have ripped off my designs before but this one is actually exactly the same. I'm not sure what I can do about it, if there even is anything that I could do about this. It also doesn't help that he is selling these on Mercari, which is an app like eBay, I've complained to Mercari multiple times about counterfeit products and they seem to not even car so I doubt they will do anything about this. Anyway, here is my design (that I have been selling for a year) on the top, and their stolen design is on the bottom. Mine: The stolen work:

Same. Don't think that's unpopular though. I think this is very popular actually, these are 99% of the time a team's best look

This one is really important, a friend of mine needs me to write their name out with this font but I don't know what it is. Any help is appreciated!

appreciate it

Does anyone know exactly how I could report trademark infringement to the NBA. I'm really tired of this "company" that is selling outright NBA logos and players on their products while other companies lose business to them because they don't want to commit that crime? Anyone know?

And they aren't even good concepts, flat images shoved into the template, bad patterns thrown on in haste and he has absolutely zero skill in applying center stripes to the template. Ya they are awful, he's not exactly a great guy either. He had a "giveaway" the other day, trying to pass off a clear fake Aaron Rodgers jersey as an authentic until me and many others called him out.

An instagrammer known as @helmetconcepts is trying to sell t-shirts using not only copyrighted NFL & NCAA logos, but also on Davidson's template. A lot of people on there, including me have tried to tell him he can't do this. But he insists that he actually has a license to sell NFL merchandise...

good job Boise State!

I was thinking the same thing, seems like a hard jersey to replicate...for a rec league anyway. I've always been intrigued by sites like Behance and Dribble, etc. but I don't really know that stuff too well and I guess I kinda like Instagram. I don't get any artistic feedback at all lol but it's a good way to get design opportunities. And thank you, it's something I made pretty quickly but I like the way it came out.

He liked your design, and is asking if he can use the pants professionly for a rec-league b-ball team.... I think. I'd ask him what exactly it's for, and see if I could get any cash out of it if I were you personally. I should've explained more, I only posted the jersey and helmet. I did not post any pants, so he is asking me to post some. I thought about asking him for maybe some possible compensation but what irritates me is that he sounds like he's already going through with the jerseys, he just needs me to give him more... I'm flattered that he likes my design but this is a bit weird it's @football_concepts , thanks for your interest!

Ok so I posted my Atlanta Falcons jersey concept on Instagram, and received the following email today: "I'm a follower on Instagram. I am designing a jersey for my team and would like to know if you can send the pants of that jersey. If you can it's ok I understand." like what? He is flat out telling me that he is going to steal my design? and then asking me to give him more? I'm extremely confused/irritated

Agreed. I've had partial agreements with this too. So just wondering, do you think a good combo would be their old look in the new color scheme?

That's not even close to unpopular. Too many red white and blue teams in sports

Yea sorry but no freakin way. I agree, that would probably take the cake for THE most unpopular opinionIt's just that if the Bills had a red helmet with current unis, they'd be an upgrade over the navy set no doubt. Just to clarify where my unpopular opinion is coming from. It's your opinion and I respect it. I just hate the shade of blue from that era, and the current one is beautiful IMO. also the shoulder striping/lack there of from the old jerseys is just awful. But that's why this thread exists, people enjoy different things!
