JayJaxon Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 There is no doubt that it came from the Titans logo. I don't know if they could get in trouble for it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quantum Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Badly aligned ripoff. The provider's name is Paul Ripley. How appropriate. "One of my concerns is shysters show up and take advantage of people's good will and generosity". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It's clearly "inspired," although I think legally the logo is allowed to be used under fair use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oddball Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It's clearly "inspired," although I think legally the logo is allowed to be used under fair use.That is in no way, fair use. That is trademark infringement. As a graphic designer, I would know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidson Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 they are flogging college logos for $5 a pop too.fair use laws have nothing to do with a situation like this. using the titans logo when referencing thelogo for some reason would be an example of fair use.come on, whos going to be first to say something retarded about changing alogo by x%makes everything okay?

It's an obvious ripoff. How can someone think they can charge money for this AND get away with ripping it off at the same time. It's fine if it's just some kid's concept project.

pcgd Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 It's not the Titans, it's the NFL and their licensee Reebok.A quick letter from those lawyers oughta take care of this.Reebok has nothing to do with the trademarks and logos of the NFL teams. The NFL gives Reebok permission to use its marks for retail purposes for a cut of the sales. Its purely an NFL trademark issue. Reebok has no more to say about this than the hundreds of other companies that make product featuring the NFL logos...Now if someone was producing a jersey or headwear featuring NFL marks, then as the exclusive provider Reebok would step in.

AsM29 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Then again, maybe reebok could step in here since they are also selling a RBK logo for $8.http://www.pycomall.com/product.php?produc...251&page=10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
