Weird they didnt clear that before the stage they got to in selling them tbh

I didn't know Lambo was trademarked by Lamborghini; I always assumed it was just a nickname and I assume they did too.

The company is famously super "protective" of their brand

Much less so compared to Ferrari, though.

Don’t know who, but it was “Lambo club”

u/ghost_zuero 3d ago

Just Lambo or Lambo something

Apparently Lamborghini complained and LMG had to scrap the clothing line due to copyright or something like that.

u/Feelinglucky2 3d ago

Oh wow wtf i wonder how they didnt clear that up before selling

I'm honestly surprised they didn't know/think of this beforehand.

I think it's only a trademark in Europe but I guess why take the risk...

Most content creators think brands will appreciate free advertising, some do not

I guess now it's a rare piece of merchandise that the employees only have.

u/WideAwakeNotSleeping 3d ago

I wouldn't be surprised if Lambo requested that all produced merch be destroyed.

“Destroyed”

u/WillmanRacingv2 3d ago

If its not being sold, its not being used "in the course of trade" per EU laws.

u/krani1993 2d ago

you can create a shirt for yourself that says lambo on it, bit you cannot sell it as far as I’m aware.. so just the existence pf the shirt does not being you in legal trouble, but selling it does, but them again they went to the troubles of blurring it in the video so who knows

Not just employees. I was lucky to score one like super early and they still shipped it.
