It’s a really nice shirt to be fair.

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.


I don't think a UK cease and desist order holds much weight in Australia. And UK customs have probably got more to deal with than trying to intercept a handful of retro football shirts being shipped into the country.

That's where he's based isn't it? That's his eBay shop location anyway.

Didn’t know he was based in Oz but the fact remains he’s infringing copyright. I don’t know much about the guy or his company but I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the larger companies (eg Adidas) employ people purely to scour the internet and shut guys like this down. If he’s done several other shirts then it might be that.

Like I say I don’t know the truth at all but there seemed to be an initial surge of people blaming the club when it’s more likely to have come from elsewhere.

Surprised he’s in Australia. Thought he was a relatively local, real fan, doing this for other real fans...

Whatever. If Adidas have gotten wind he won’t be selling them again.

Having read his tweets I apologise and think it has come from within the club. We’re not the only ones though
