[Albion] Albion™

[Perry's Tracksuit Bottoms]

This has served as a handy heads up that some of the other Albions might have some better Albion-related merchandise than the crap currently available in the club shop...

 

[Justice]

What about Albino

What about Albino

Don’t worry, no matter what happens it’ll be all white

 

[Icy Gull]

What about Albino

Will Hughes will be upset about that one

Better not start shouting ALBION from the stands or PB will be visiting for breach of trademark

no he won’t,
but he will have prearranged for stewards to have little cash tins and each supporter will have to pay 10p for each time we use the word.

I guess that will be the modern day version of when the blanket used to carried around the pitch at the Goldstone

Could be grim news for Albion Kebabs just down from the station, but not as grim as the kebabs themselves.

Indeed, one of the worst kebabs I have ever had was in there.

Not sure Pete Doherty would agree.

I really have little time for Burton's concerns, considering that they have variously been called Burton Town, Burton Swifts, Burton Wanderers, Burton All Saints and Burton United before finally settling on Burton Albion. I don't think they can get to choose all the suffixes at one time or another and then get snotty at someone else using the name

That's almost as bad as some of the Argus's use of the truth!

i doubt him and i would agree on much to be fair.

To be fair, we nicked the name Albion from either West Brom, a local pub or a Brighton hotel, so I don’t think we can justify exclusive use of the name. I’m surprised and a little disappointed we seem to have got away with this. Whatever legal entity approved this doesn’t appear to have thought it through. Was it the government?

The Guardian article does say ‘Brighton and West Brom both claim the purpose of their trademarks is to curb the sale of unofficial merchandise, and it will not be used against other similarly named teams’.

I don’t think people need to be getting worried the club is getting above itself, it’s simply protecting itself from cheap imitations coming out now we’re a more well known club.

Ooooh. Is there any dodgy away turquoise or whatever colour it is shirts kicking about?

When last in Kusadasi in Turkey, we bought some “ Hugo boss” golf polo shirts. Still have them 8 years later. Every clubs shirts were available ….shop had a big sign. GENUINE FAKES

Or maybe you don't understand the centuries-old concept of trademarks?

i wouldn't mind some fake merch. my son is now a true Brighton fan and talks of nothing but football. wants the posters in his room to be replaced by some seagull wall art etc - not much about.

wanted a Brighton pencil case but the black logo on the black case from the official shop was a poor offering.

He was also upset his Shoot Annual didn't have a single Brighton reference in it

Explained to him that if he supported us he has to understand we fly under the radar and its better than being a glory hunter.

H&J on Talksport had a discussion on this with some historian but I only caught the last minute so am unable to enlighten anybody as to the contents of said discussion
