Would Triumph Have Liability For Assault To Wearer

<p>Motorcycle News UK is reporting that this jacket looks quite similar to the gang logo used by the Outlaws.&nbsp; </p> <p><img src="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/263631/images/brmc-Triumph-jacket.jpg" alt="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/263631/images/brmc-Triumph-jacket.jpg" /> </p> <p>A Motorcycle News reader suggests that wearing the jacket could be dangerous if the Outlaws took offense.</p> <p>In this time when many providers of motorcycle and motorcycle fashion wear are looking to existing designs for graphics, it would be a good idea to at least understand the issues involved.</p> <p>Now that Triumph is aware of the risk involved with this design, what would their responsibility be if an innocent purchaser wore the jacket in the wrong place?</p> <p>While the first impression might be to brush this one off, on closer examination, this is a clear unnecessary risk to purchasers of the jacket.&nbsp; Further, the benefit of the design is small compared to the risk.&nbsp; You might give Triumph a pass if they did it accidentally, but they have publicly commented on the problem.&nbsp; At this point, they may well have responsibility to someone who innocently purchases the jacket, not knowing of the problem.<br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> 10 application/xml false Assault Club Jacket Logo Motorcycle Outlaws Triumph Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en; rv:1.9.0.16) Gecko/2009120123 Camino/2.0.1 (like Firefox/3.0.16) 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 mpadway 69.17.49.44 false true false false true 201650 false false true false false false true 106829 blog blogsite/MichaelPadway/web
