NYPD selling Brewers style caps

[PinaMadness]

Hmmm. Don't know what to make of this.

[PeaveyFury]

Wow, that's clearly intended to be a play on the logo without any doubt...

 

edit: Even MORE similar shirts too, if you follow the link to the actual store site.

It also gives the impression that nypd plays with M80s or is careless with power tools or something. It's a ripoff, and also a stupid looking ripoff.

[patrickgpe]

that looks forced

 

mets and yankees have such an iconic hat logo, not sure why you have to rip off the brewers

[MrTPlush]

Umm....just a bad idea on many levels. Kind of a rip off of the Brewers unis and they look dumb.

 

No part of that looks like a good idea.

[jerichoholicninja]

The store has a bunch of other stuff that is clearly ripped off from other MLB teams. And they all look like horrible Chinese knock offs.

[JimH5]

Wow, there's copyright infringement all over that store. Brewers, Padres, Mets, Notre Dame, Michigan..

 

Law enforcement of Thee, not of we, apparently.

It’s not just a store, it’s an actual baseball team. Some of their alternate uniforms are based off of some MLB teams uniforms/logos, including the Brewers. I think that’s less offensive than them just selling knock-off apparel. That’s what’s I thought was happening based on most of this thread.

 

I don’t know the legality of them making these knock offs, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s common.

Looks like a Trademark violation. Brewers could ask for a cease and desist. The question is whether the Brewers would do that to public servants like police.

NYPD should cease and desist simply based on the fact that those are utterly terrible.

Yes, to set a precedent. Same with the Badgers, suing high schools not to use the logo (see my avatar).

Looks like the NYPD is eating a W:
