Kawhi issues federal lawsuit vs Nike + Jordan Brand for shoe logo

[2Quik4UHoes]

Right. He should text Kawhi right now and congratulate him on the boss move

I’d expect nothing less from the leading woke athlete....

Not to mention, Kawhi pushing Bron out of top position on the Lakers might be a worthy gamble for NB to make a splash in the market.

How do you not trademark your own personal logo, damn...

He will lose. He gave nike the idea and they refined it and trademarked it. He did nothing more than brainstorm basically

“I came up with the idea of incorporating my initials in this logo,” said Leonard after shooting around in the shoe prior to the Spurs season opener last night. “I drew up the rough draft, sent it over and they (Jordan Brand) made it perfect.”

The graphic is inspired by the nickname his Spurs teammates gave him, “The Claw,” because of his enormous hands and ability to make stunning plays with his metacarpi. The logo specifically takes the shape of a sizable hand and also interweaves his initials. Leonard stated that he saw the final version for the first time this past Saturday.

“I give the Jordan Brand team all the credit because I’m no artist at all,” Leonard. “They refined it and made it look better than I thought it would ever be, and I’m extremely happy with the final version.”

Hope he wins but he's probably fukked

Can go either way but if kawhi wins in the finals, it’s definitely not good pub for Nike

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

so that's the reason he's not on Jordans brand anymore I kept seeing that thread around the coli.

No. Kawhi & his team thought the deal that he got from Nike during negotiations last summer was weak. He walked, New Balance picked him up, now he's suing Nike for the logo

WTF is Nike thinking? First of all, he works with New Balance now. So what are you gonna do with his logo? Second, why would you want bad publicity like that with other professional athletes watching?

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

:uncledennis: didn’t trademark it?

Even if he did his deal with Nike probably would've been contingent on him forfeiting the trademark to them. I don't think anyone that fukks with Nike own their logo. Nike wants to be able to make money off you perpetually.

Nah that don’t mean he not coming to the Lakers he just wants ownership of what’s rightfully his. Might mean he ain’t appreciate that half cheesy half snake move the clips was bout to pull buying his logo for bribery purposes tho.....

The delusion. So sure yet you duck ban bets like a bytch made p*ssy. shyts funny how autistic you are.

 

[OSUBaneBrowns]

Nike will probably settled on the low just to not have any bad press with a top athlete in the game. Not worth trying to fight for ownership in public and have your current and potential future clients looking at you funny in the media. Bad business overall.

Nike will just sit on it until he retires, then sell retros or the original "Concept design" Nike Air Flight Generic Name 1.0

He's gonna lose. This is where educating yourself comes in. Hell, he even admits to not being an artist. Should have got an independent artist to design it (work-for-hire), trademarked it, let Nike rent it while you were there, then taken it with you. You barely brainstormed.
