As reported by The Irish Independent, The District Court in The Hague has ordered Reebok to withdraw Conor McGregor apparel from the market. The ruling was made due to a trademark dispute with the Netherlands-based McGregor fashion line. McGregor’s Reebok hoodies, sweaters and shorts that bear his name in big letters will have to be removed from all sales outlets within seven days. Failure to comply would result in a €250,000 fine.
According to the fashion label’s lawyer Remco van Leeuwen, selling ‘The Notorious.’ Reebok apparel may cause confusion among consumers. The public would be confused into believing that the clothing made by Reebok for the Irish mixed martial artist and boxer comes from the McGregor fashion house.
