Hopefully once the dust settles it can be agreed that their interactive site can reopen as 'The New Grim Up North' or something. That's usually how these kinda things pan out I'm guessing 😋

Quoted from Tinymariner
Did anyone else see that Grim Up North (GUN) Retro were selling a retro version of the Adidas shirt from the early 80's online. This was until complaints were made by certain unknown individuals and the small company has now withdrawn the sale. This company have a long history of making excellent retro shirts for the Sheffield teams, Barnsley and Doncaster. They recently decided to make a Grimsby one after much demand, and tbh it looked pretty good.
I'm just wondering how many people would be interested in this shirt if he was able to continue getting them made.
BTW he has had to shut down his website temporarily as he has been threatened with legal action.




I managed to order one last week.
I actually emailed grim up north lastnight after reading this post and they’ve assured me they haven’t been shut down and the website is undergoing some improvements.

Nope, he tweeted the information first and has now deleted all tweets regarding the Town shirts.

The club have a tie up with Copa for these, so it’s not a surprise, just a shame. Maybe they were planning a Findus one with Copa?

It looks like the guy who’s done this has used official Adidas gear - do they have this basic design  as an off the shelf shirt template?

According to 'Pogo' the website has not been 'shut down' :-

Only 24 hours since a poster hinted (without mentioning any names of course) that the shut down might have been locally connected

There is an image if you google it which has an Adidas leaf logo and also other presumably trademarked material, including possibly the club badge.

Quite possibly the club might face action from Adidas if they allowed it to go ahead? Personally I preferred the Adidas leaf logo to the triangle thing they have now but probably the company wouldn't agree with me?

All sorts of trademark issues going on.

The firebird adidas logo and the town badge will both be registered trademarks and as such illegal to copy without permission.

Dare I say it even Findus in that font may be as well.

No matter where it’s come from he’s clearly has a cease and desist order and has taken the sensible option.
