City launch cease and desist order against Chilean 3rd division side over club crest

[Kinkladze's crazy skills]

According to multiple media reports City have issued the order but I think it's more likely a CFG thing... Is it an innocent mistake by a lowly club thinking what have we done wrong sticking to their guns, who we have warned before apparently over an at least CFG likeness, or is it just blatant copyright of us or one of/multiple CFG sister clubs, whether that be in likeness to our badge or kits or other stuff... are they just innocent of picking their own style with maybe a slight resemblance, are we completely justified in our choice to set a clear preceden tor are we just bullying them?

Their badge


Manchester City

New York City

Melbourne City

Montevideo City


Again is this a reasonable action over City/CFG similarities and Santiago or have we gone too far?

We haven't gone too far at all, it's a blatant rip off of our badge.

We should be friendly to them, after all, neither of us have any history...

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We should just buy the club. They’ve done the badge design for us already.

 

[Nebuchadnezzar]

They could make a re-hash of the 90s/00s crest but with an Andean vulture instead of a phoenix/eagle

Well its obviously a complete rip off of our badge. The cfg ones are irrelevant. At least they had the good grace to leave the fucking awful red rose off theirs. Kudos.

Does Santiago have 3 major rivers?

Good point I think we missed an opportunity by not replacing the rose with a shopping trolley.

An Asda one would make sense:-)

Yep, there's too many elements that are near identical.

1) The team name is curved at the top and straight at the bottom
2) The shield is near identical in shape and position in how it cuts through the inner circle
3) The numbers are placed similarly
4) The count of stripes match and look identical
5) The fonts are very similar
