It’s fun picturing all the restraining straps and gum shields.
What a truly undateable cnut you’d have to be to get in a froth about someone not sporting an Emirates logo…..

tbf why would we support a rival airline, tbh its disgusting that they are allowed to sponsor the fa cup and arsenal anyway

I enjoy(ed) barneys writing style, think he has talent. Stopped reading him a year or two back as the "agenda" became tedious. Not sure how much he was writing to order or had/has control over his copy. Non football John Crace is a good read on grauniad

I get some people like his style, although it's not for me, however that phrase was shocking.
You would be slaughtered if you used it in the work place but he was allowed to put it into print.
Not sure what's worse, the fact that he wrote it or the fact the editor allowed it through; speaks volumes about that paper.

By "their logo", do you mean Asahi?

I'm not an expert on this, but I think the point is that Asahi may be able to get away with a drink that used the word "super dry", but if Asahi used it on clothing then they'd be infringing Super Dry's trademark. As City are doing that, then City *may* be the ones that have an issue.

What, you mean like they did for the Rugby World Cup..?

Well they will be able to sue two 'countries' now lol

I don't think they need the drink category.

I think they're going after City rather than Asahi, because we're selling clothing with Super Dry written on it. So Asahi might not have infringed their trademark ,whereas City *may* have.

We're not selling clothes with Super Dry written on it though!
The training gear we sell does not have the sponsor on it, only the players kit has the logo.
Besides - Superdry is registered as one word... where as the Asahi logo says Super "Dry" – I can't see that they have a leg to stand on!

More, because there was lots of promo merch with the logo on it

These Blade fans seem to be bitter these days. I had a “full City Bingo” experience with one on the way back from Bramhall Lane earlier this season. Last Saturday at Pic Station I had another brief interaction. He said: “I don’t like your (City) hat. My response: “ I don’t like your face.” It went down like a lead balloon.
