Borough Fakes Right, Fakes Left! They Score! Nike Pays!

What’s the one thing as a designer you should be hoping happens to you? That’s right, that Nike will come in, sees your design, rips you off, and then you get a choice, out-of-court settlement for loads and loads of money. Same applies if you’re a borough in London. And it did apply yesterday, as Nike settled, out-of-court, to the tune of $300,000, because it had “borrowed” the town of Hackney’s logo for use on shirts, balls, and other sporting paraphernalia.
