Nike Gets NUKED – Apologizes To The NAVY For Ridiculous New Logo

Who the hell thought this was a good idea?

On the left is a logo for Nike’s new fashion line.

On the right, the Navy Academy’s crest.

UUMMMMM… ABOUT THAT.

The similarities of the Nike/UNDEFEATED logo released this week and the USNA Crest are undeniable and we believe their logo is clearly an infringement under trademark law. USNA is working with Navy leadership to order Nike/UNDEFEATED to cease and desist their use of the logo.

Nike has now apologized:

The Naval Academy appreciates Nike’s announcement to no longer use the UNDEFEATED logo resembling our Naval Academy crest. We are pleased by this decision which is respectful of the Academy, our students and alumni. #usna #USNavy #nike #midshipmen #gonavymids

But they’ve certainly lost the respect of more than one customer:

Just Did It.

Still, it’s outrageous that someone at Nike approved this idiocy in the first place, no Nike gear will ever be worn by this grad ever again!!

Resembling? How about perfect copy. Does @Nike think they can just do what they want? #boycottnike pic.twitter.com/veCEMMYZbC

Yup, that’s pretty blatant.

And my favorite response to the whole thing:

Also, FYI, we’re an Under Armour school.
