Cole Palmer has been found in a legal discomfort that most football fans were never expected: Chelsea’s star goes head with Château Palmer, a prestigious French vineyard, for his attempt to mark his nickname.
The England midfielder had requested from the trademark its iconic celebration of “Ice Cold” goals and was accompanied by the moniker “Cold Palmer”, with the aim of launching a range of products that include clothes, toiletries and even alcoholic beverages, according to The sun.
However, the Bordeaux -based vineyard, which Bottles can sell for thousands of poundsIt has formally opposed the application, arguing that Palmer’s plans could violate their established brand.
The dispute is now with the United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office, which will review the communications of both parties before dictating.
The firm of wines was founded in 1814 after the British army officer, Charles Palmer, acquired the estate, known at that time as Château de Gascq. He expanded the vineyards late and renamed him after himself.
Meanwhile, Cole Palmer is better known for his brilliant performances on the football field than his interest in wine. But in this legal confrontation, Palmer vs. Palmer, Claret vs. Blue, its brightness in the field may not be enough to tilt the stairs.
