Topshop have been selling jackets (pictured below) emblazoned with Against Me!’s name without their permission.
The band’s Laura Jane Grace highlighted the issue at the weekend, saying: “Hey @Topshop, you’re selling a $700 leather jacket with my bands name on it and you have no permission. Not cool.”
“Its a legal trademark that I own,” she continues, “just like you can’t sell shirts that say ‘the Beatles’.”
Shortly after, Topshop responded: “Hi there, we’re looking into this. We have removed the jacket from our website & are currently withdrawing from stores.”
The jacket also looks to use the Vandals’ name, along with phrases such as “Still hating”, “Stay-punk” and “Slave”.
