Infringement Scavenger Hunt


GFB

Recommended Posts

Hey guys... I was recently made aware of the "NSFL," which is seemingly a spring semi-pro league. While someone involved within the league is a big fan of concepts (and safe to say, some questionable taste as well), it also opened the door for a lot of "borrowing" from other logos... See for yourself:

http://gonsfl.com/teams/

Making the assumption that everything is "borrowed," I thought we could turn it into a game... Rules to start:

- Try to limit your answers to one-logo-per-person at the beginning so everyone can get a chance...

- Double points for finding elements from multiple images.

So can you guys find all the "source" logos?

I'll get us going:

They even had the guts to rip off one of CCSLC's finest.

Story B: Red Wings go undefeated and score 100 goals in every game. They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.

Kinda sad, considering these are atleast, how can I say this, quality ripoffs? They've tried with more talent than most...

I don't get what MSU has to do with that logo.

I think he's referring to the notches in the font... But I don't think the fonts are the same.

I'm not seeing this one at all. The shading around the eye is similar, but I wouldn't call it infringement or a ripoff.

I'd call the Racers logo a bigger ripoff of the Mavs than I would the Thoroughbreds a rip off of the Racers

Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

Look at the nose, mouth and shadow around the eye. Its nearly exact.

You also have to rotate the logo about 30 degrees counterclockwise.

At the very least, it's a tracing... the mouth, nose, and "racing hood(?)" are 95% the same...

My guess is that the "artist" took the face of Jaha's horse and merged it with a stretched Boise State logo (or something along those lines).

It's actually just a copy of one of the earlier versions.
