Terrence Collina Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 change the logo to a cannon and change the name to Fleet Gunners!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Blame Me Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Looking at the logo, it is so close to being a copy that I can understand why THFC got their claws out. Having worked with copyrights a few years back I can understand the concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krooner Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I am not sure that is the issue though. To threaten a small club with the courts is outrageous. Perhaps a better way would have to been to invite them to a meeting and offer to help pay for the changes that need to take place ? I also understand that Fleet Spurs have had their current badge a lot longer than Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Baker Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It is ridiculous from Spurs, and I am sure they will receive negative press on the matter... Just typical of the premier league, and premier league clubs, and for me why I enjoy non league games any day over a premier league match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VPCTFC Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I am not sure that is the issue though. To threaten a small club with the courts is outrageous. Perhaps a better way would have to been to invite them to a meeting and offer to help pay for the changes that need to take place ? I also understand that Fleet Spurs have had their current badge a lot longer than Spurs. Spurs have had the cockerel since 1921. Fleet Spurs were only formed in 1951. I don't know when they got their current badge but it's clear they've copied a trademarked image which you can't do. Imagaine if it had been the other way around - Fleet Spurs sending a 'cease and desist' to Tottenham for nicking their emblem. People would still be on Fleet Spurs' side. This is just a case of 'have a go at the big boys cos it's fashionable' rather than look into what's actually happening. I have a lot of time, and indeed sympathy for Fleet Spurs as a football club, especially considering the way they were rejected in their bid to join the CCL but, on this issue, I think Tottenham have been reasonable in their actions and done everything by the book.

I repeat that it isn't that they want the cockerel removed it is the heavy handed way they have done it. I wonder when it was trademarked ?

Bronco Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I really think Fleet Spurs should take the next step and drop the Spurs part of their name. I would hate to advertise or glorify a club that had just done that to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jertzee Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 From the Fleet site We leave the door ajar for Tottenham Hotspur to be magnanimous in this situation, and show their support to grass roots football. Good luck with that...a Premier League side being magnanimous, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big J R Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Even though we, as a club, are suffering at the moment, I'm proud to say we've had our Cockerel far longer than either of the two above mentioned clubs ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Farmie Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Look at VCD's badge and tell me they haven't copied Arsenal's latest version. I know they both have a cannon on their badge for virtually identical historical reasons but VCD have reshaped the whole shield to make it look like the Arsenal badge. Clubs should be capable of creating their own identity. Fleet Spurs makes them sound like a Sunday side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
