SportsSquatch.com stealing designs for profit

So I saw a re-tweet from their Twitter account and decided to check out what the account was about. Turns out they do their own jerseys and I was perusing through them and I ended up finding a design I did a while back with the custom logo I did for the concept. Went to their page and found a bunch more stolen concepts. Here's a list of every one I could find.

LOL, at least Jack Moore left his name on it for posterity.

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.

You should look through mentions of @sportssquatch on Twitter.  Lots and lots of unsatisfied customers.  It also looks like they held a contest to supply a team with jerseys, then never completed the job and disappeared without explanation.  Real classy stuff.

It looks like he's the one who did the new FHL logo and the partnership makes perfect sense.

 

Nope, that was Scott Markiewicz. On their site, it seems as though they entered into some sort of partnership with the FHL.

I know this has been brought up before about stealing artists' designs. I thought about putting a few on here before and even if I put watermarks and trademarks on it, somebody is going to find a slick way to say it is theirs by some loophole. I came to this board years ago when I found out there were people who were just like me I was excited, but this is part of the game now. We're screwed anyway we go.

So why hasn't anyone hit this D-bag with a C&D? I get that a lot of these aren't being sold elsewhere, but there are some pretty brazen thefts. 

 

One that really sticks out is the Pollos Hermanos that Geeky Jerseys does.

Every time I look at that site I laugh at it. That site is a joke I mean would you buy my team Japan jerseys with a logo that was made from MS Paint? I thought of letting anyone know about this, but with the price of $99.00 (now $64.99) I say nah. Beside with those prices, and unhappy customers this site with fall apart and karma will bite him in the butt.

 

P.S. Sports Squatch use to be called Hockey Yeti.

Yeah this guy sucks. Stole a few of my designs too. If you call him out on it he really doesn't give a damn. He even used a cropped image of my actual jersey design when he was tweeting "new design coming soon"  Noticed he changed the name a while back. Seems he is stealing the 501st legions logo too. I'm sure they would not be too happy about that.
