Is mine ok
Or LCC got rights on it

Meh

And they'll still try and play up the "People's Club" branding. Rats.

Didn’t someone copyright it, and play the club at their own game?

Hence why we stopped using it?

Yeah it was a guy called Brian Gould he had a stall in town, cracking lad goes everywhere but had a court case about it

 

[Muggins]

Does this apply to the current Crest/Badge or all of them?

Good question mate.

 

[Deco]

I imagine they don’t want to be associated with posts like my one before which called Robles a “fat useless slob”.

To be fair mate, there's a lot worse said on here so it's a good point lol

They should be paying me for having the tattoo advertising them tbh

Why would the club be against the badge being on an Everton forum?

Madness

If they do not enforce it here that cannot enforce it elsewhere like on counterfeit merchandise. It is the right thing for the club to do and they are not doing it heavy handedly.

Ok?

 

[Groucho]

Please tell me this is a windup?!

Not a wind up.

It's a bit different when it's effectively a non-profit fan forum though in my opinion.

That's assuming @GrandOldTeam isn't becoming a secret millionaire from this place..

All as far as I can remember

They are all over the internet when I post on the old pictures thread - I do avoid them as this has been posted before about EFC badges - I could understand the cur rent badge yes , but older ones?

For clarity: It's all logos the club retain copyright over.

This isn't anything new, we've complied with the request and issued reminders for many years. Examples;

I'm sure there's valid reasons behind their motives - running a genuinely independent fan site means you have to walk a legal minefield and we need you all to just go with it. Think of us as the arl ISS Pro/Pro Evo with all the jarg names/badges. Our next step is to auto rename every instance of Everton to Merseyside Blue...
