Show me the panthers likeness on that shirt.

1) He used the likeness of the team when he posted that logo originally.

2) He left the following in the description of the sales page.

"Show your Carolina pride, support your favorite home team, or just wear a vintage-styled, mean cat on your chest to back 'em all off."

How much is he paying you to pimp out his merchandise on your site?

I don't know if the Panthers would win in court, but that doesn't mean they wouldn't try scaring him with a little letter threatening legal action.

 

This. 

 

It's like the guy who came up with the "Eat More Kale" slogan being sued by Chik Fil A. Chik Fil A doesn't want the case to go to court, because the case would probably be thrown out or ruled against them. But they can keep the case out of court and just making the guy spend thousands on legal expenses year after year.

 

Same thing would happen here. The Panthers organization probably has no case, but could sue this guy for years on end without resolution until the guy ultimately stopped making the shirt.

 

Whether or not the guy has a good case against copyright infringement (he does) if the Panthers want to, they can bleed him dry. Best just to not risk it.

The Panthers would not sue him, they are much more lenient than the NFL properties.

 

Now, having heard from NFL properties personally in the past, I can tell you they definitely don't play around. But unless this guy gets a deal to sell the shirts in Old Navy, I don't see it being worth their time.

All these new accounts be created everyday, I can't even keep up. Who is Chico? I'm assuming he's someone who's been here before.

 

He has had a few screen names, no idea why he keeps changing. I think Spider Monkey was one of them.

 

Need to keep his horrible opinions in a fresh account I guess.

Oh really?

I screen captured the blog post, sales page, & your thread pimping the product and sent an e-mail with links to the NFL and Panthers. That t-shirt won't be for sale within 48-72 hours.

Awesome, you are a huge prick. Way to redeem yourself.
