A certain three striped brand (who will remain nameless) contacted the higher up of BigFooty and told them to tell us that we were not permitted to use their brand on our designs because it may lead people to thinking that they were actual designs (this was well before the realistic looking template era). This led to it basically being that if you used their logo you could be carded or banned from the board and the designs removed with the potential of them taking action against the designer or even the board.
Despite all of us at the time thinking it was just stupid as you could clearly tell that our templates were not of a professional standard and were certainly not actually made by them we followed the rules for a year or so and then just went back to using their logo again and they were not heard from again on here.
Haha imagine trying to enforce that rule over the internet. Instagram basically has an entire sub-culture of people doing alternate Nike branding and posters, they would need a full time team just report it all.
