copying your clubs name

how would you feel if someone who your no affiliated with asked you if they can start a club with the same name as yours just spelling it a little different.

Tell them to come up with something of their own? 

yeah why have a name that's already in use. Tell them to be more creative.

I know how it feels to have some guys start a club in the same town as my club with half the name we've had for years. And it shows you the originality and creativity these fools have. If imitation is flattery, consider us flattered. The part that sucks is that "their" logo has been mistaken for our logo. And their trucks are as original and creative as their club. I say a club name is sacred, and worth fighting for. Tell him to eat shit. And if he does it anyway, give him a good old fashion ass whoopin.

Ive seen our name and design get ripped off a few times. Most of the time, they fade away in a year or so, so I dont usually make to much fuss about it.

You mean like the gay ass scion club that has no originality what-so-ever and think its a different name because they added "team" in front of Aftermath?

Why not just focus on the fact that they want to be a part of the scene and maybe help people out who's rides may not be up to your clubs standards?   Im not saying work on their rides for free maybe just give them pointers or some constructive criticism. Any little bit helps.....
