Did it have tin foil on it? If not, the parents should be ashamed.

The training tops are still on sale - we've never sold them with the sponsorship on that I can see

Decent commentary for today
No sly digs, and the only mention of the rags was at the end, and that was to say who we beat in the final.
Turned off the red button, and the BBC coverage of the arse dips game has a caption on the bottom of the screen mentioning the rags.
Off until the game starts

Was just thinking the commentary was good, then Shearer had to go and call Alexander-Arnold "Trent", and that makes my blood boil.
We were also using it first… and seven years after they started using it they moved out…

Apart from that I must have heard Shearer say "Arsenal ars very dangerous from set pieces" at least 4 times. he deals in clichés and often just repeatx what the commentator said. I doubt he could analyse his half time pie
Ah - I did check my past posts, and only saw the ones about using it, but you're more determined that I was :)
It may only be on the match shirts because City were aware there was a potential issue in the first place.
The trademark law bit linked to is almost certainly not relevant because that refers to the registration - which has already happened. I believe that sometimes trademarks can be challenged even after registration, but as Superdry isn't the kind of use they're talking about above, I doubt that'll be an issue.
The reason I replied to the first post, was that people were suggesting the journalists were targeting City, when it wasn't the club's problem. The articles appear to be correct, in that it is City that are being targeted, not Asahi, or Puma. And as that's the case, I was supposing why it might be - and the best I can suggest is that Superdry's trademark only covers the word on clothing (so they can't target the beer), and City are the ones responsible for putting it on the shirts.
I don't know if they'll win, but certainly they won't be laughed out of court, as they appear to have a strong argument. I do suspect that there will be some kind of negotiated agreement, rather than a court case, but that's just a guess.

Did we play today?
Just listened to the news on Radio 2 and they mentioned the Arsenal 'defeat' and the hands of Liverpool, and the 3 draws involving West Ham, Luton and Forest, but not a sausage on our game.
