Hells Angels go to war… with fashion designer

[bsasuper]

Well according to others on this site - they must be gay because they wave to me, and we all know that waving is like so lame but Headhunters wave too, so are they gay?

The name headhunters says it all

[imdying]

See it's easy to call a hells angel gay when you are on the computor but can't see you saying it to there faces so best you just keep your mouth shut,unless you are man enough to front them.

Or what big boy

just in Wanganui

Should that be Whanganui nowadays???

I would not be caught wearing anything with the hells angels logo's, I mean isnt that a Gay Bikers club?

That's a real Health and Safety issue attitude ...

Curious to know what the issue was in Wild Hogs, thought the movie was funny..... Were the logo's too much like the Hells Angels, or was it the the taking over a town like the bikers in the 50's?

I dunno ... but I remember when I saw the movie I thought the Wild Hogs patch was flying a bit close to the wind (or HA colours ...)

Having seen the offending designs, I can say that I don't think the HA will win the case. The items designed by alexander mcqueen do have a skull with angel wings BUT skulls and angel wings are a combo that have been put together from before the hells angels were around. Yes they have trademarked their specific design, but the Mcqueen items have skulls that are wearing helmets with ornate designs or no helmets at all and have large flowing angel wings wrapped around them. Not the aviator cap and the almost hood ornament like wings of the death head.

To say that if anybody ever puts a skull and some wings together in a design will be sued by the HA for fear of the said person getting hurt is silly and bloody ridiculous.

To put it in perspective, if a M/C used a coiled snake as a logo for 50 years, could they trademark the image of a coiled snake, an image which gets used daily in many different images, items etc and then attempt to sue those who use it. I think not.

.....who gives a flying fuck...

Obviously the hells angels.

I am surprise the bike manufacturers / race teams haven't taken Deus to court yet.....
Triumph charge a small fortune for anything with their logo on it......yet a lot of people just put a picture of the bike and it seems everyone is ok?

Does that mean I can't go out with my Alexander McQueen handbag to my local ??

I think you still can.... not so much as you getting a bash, maybe just a tickle up the rear
