It’s still using the Coventry city name to make money. We’ll agree to disagree on the matter. Hopefully FMC takes on board the club’s wishes and the new kit manufacturer provide a retro range at a sensible price for the fans
There are plenty of free lance football websites selling ccfc related stuff - hallyink, the terrace, art of football to name just 3 besides FMC - are the club going after them as well ?
Of course I’m 99% sure Hummel have played a role in this action against FMC and if they have anything about them they’ll see the potential of a retro shirt range for ccfc to make some money.
Would the club say anything if he removed the club badge, kit manufacturer logo and the sponsor off the shirts ? You can’t really claim copyright infringement on a shirt template
I’m not saying it’s right but it’s odd that it’s taken the club a whole season to act on it. I think the club could have worked with him that’s all. I think the stuff he sells is arguably better quality than the club shop sells
Agree but there is at least one company on Facebook selling replica kits for premier league clubs for this season which to me is fair worse than reproducing kits that are 20/30 years old
Plenty of other clubs who let ppl use their copyright to produce stuff - Exeter & Ipswich have deals with the terrace who do similar stuff to fmconline
Boddy has sent a cease & desist letter asking for remaining ccfc stock to be destroyed and proof of how much money he’s made from ccfc stuff apparently. Shame club couldn’t work with him
