Normally, as a clothing brand, you want your clothes on as many people as you can. Well, you should be careful what you wish for. A sheriff in Union County, Arkansas (USA) has been putting Nike t-shirts on people they arrest and making them wear them during mugshots, the photos the police take of people they arrest.
There are so many questions here:
- Why would a sheriff do that?
- Does he hate Nike?
- Why would a sheriff do that?
- Does he prefer adidas?
- Where does he get all the t-shirts?
- Why would a sheriff do that?
- Are they allowed to keep the t-shirts?
Not to mention the legal questions:
- Does this constitute as trademark infringement?
- Can it be considered “use as a trademark”?
- Is this harmful to Nike’s reputation?
And again: “Why would a sheriff do that?”
