How? Colours themselves aren't intellectual property.

Unless you trademark the colour itself (Cadbury?)

What the hell is that clash guernsey? Impinging on our IP a bit too with that blue and gold?

I think both look much better than previous.

Note the lack of white shorts. This is something we need to encourage so we can do the same thing!

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Surely the logo needs an outline for the home one like our clash jumper, you can't even see it.

this what I thought of straight away

IMO, logo itself is fine. Nothing outstanding and pretty on brand with current design trends (how will it age?)

The home jumper on the other hand... Pretty poor. Is this the first time we have seen a primary jumper all in one single colour? Maybe Carlton but atleast the monogram is contrast in white.
From afar and glancing views, they will just look like they are wearing a solid red jumper. Nothing of any distinction or uniqueness.

To not have any yellow on the home jumper is just bizarre. Red and yellow alone is a visually pleasing combination. Yellow is basically in every line of their name. Gold (yellow), coast (sand/yellow), suns (typically dipected as yellow). And how they just cannot let go of the blue for some reason. Bizarre all round

Again IMO it is still one of the worse jumpers in the league.

Both GC and Adelaide have shit the bed with their new logos imo.

No need to pull your punches.

Far and away the worst.

Looks like a track and field top. And if it looks like a track and field top then it isn't a footy jumper. Their very first jumper was much better.

That was the first one that sprang to mind.

But there's actually a lot.

How anyone can tell the difference between CocaCola red and QANTAS red and Target red, I'm buggered if I know.

Note that there are lots of conditions attached to the use and what is actually banned.

Some popular examples of trademark colors include:

1. Green-gold, Qualitex

2. Tiffany Blue

3. Target Red

4. Cadbury Purple

5. Barbie Pink

6. Home Depot Orange

7. T-Mobile Magenta

8. Wiffle-Ball Yellow

9. UPS Brown

10. Coca-Cola Red

11. Christian Louboutin Red Soles

12. Pepto-Bismol Pink

Hawthorn had better watch out or UPS will come after them for the use of Poo Brown.

Yep my understanding is colours used as a trademark specify a Pantone number which represents a specific colour.

The Pantone Color Matching System is largely a standardized color reproduction system; as of 2019 it has 2161 colors. By standardizing the colors, different manufacturers in different locations can all refer to the Pantone system to make sure colors match without direct contact with one another.

I assume it'd have to be in relation to releasing a similar product using the colours - such as a chocolate with a purple wrapper or a cola drink with a red label - probably why that rancid drop LA Ice had to change its packaging.

If Cadbury use say Pantone 1453 you could use 1452 or 1454 etc. I think it’d also depend on product, packaging, location etc.

A chocolate wrapper that was pretty close to Cadbury but using (the hypothetical) 1452 might get you into the courts. But if you were a pissant company in Bolivia you might get away with it.

I think … maybe …

I love Bolivian chocolate but I think the Chileans do it better.
