Not going to dispute the conspiracy theories at the top of the post. Think what you like. The page has actually been there for two months but they started promoting it on social today, which has helped. I didn't want to be purely a journalist anymore (still do some) because I was bored with it. Time to do something different. I have a few other things going on, but none of them terribly profitable. Mascord Brownz has so far earned me less than 1000 pounds - and that's in 15 months. I've started working as UK Business Development Manager for Red Star Belgrade, which is basically what Martin Vickers does for the Wolfpack. But just two or three hours a week for pocket money. And I've done content for RLWC2021.com from the World Cup qualifiers. I hope it continues but can't say for sure it will. Had no money all year but had the best time, just waking up and acting on any idea that has come into my head. I just do what interests me and live on on not much money. Bliss! I would avoid using the Martin Vickers comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like them to do an England shirt with a V. It seems to be the thing to have for a lot of international teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I'd make them admin and remove myself, which I've done in other instances. Until someone contacts me, the automatic feeds - including from Mascord Brownz - will stay.

I'd be interested to know if Ellis Rugby had asked to use the club badges and colours on their retro jerseys and whether the clubs get a cut.

No, just Rugby League Cares. There is showdown looming I would guess as Hummel bought the rights to GB. If I was a betting man, I'd say production of the retro jerseys will cease next year.

We both no full well Steve you put the idea in Nigel woods head! Constantly asking questions about it whenever he flew to Sydney and constantly writing articles about it in the SMH...how many times did you publish the ###### GB v Wallabies at Wembley story Steve?? At least 5 or 6 iirc...you even got that NRL media guy to come up with a fake Itinerary for a GB tour!!! So don't act like you don't know what you've done! As for selling your memorabilia using the GB brand on social media...if you haven't got permission let's see how long that lasts...lol OLDHAM RLFC the 8TH most successful team in british RL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17 stone giant Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 I'm confused by this thread. I don't know what was sarcasm and what was true. I assume that everyone selling rugby league products with club or international team logos and names etc., has all the necessary rights to do so. I assume that the RFL and the clubs etc. concerned are actively making sure that this is the case. It's basic business practice to protect your intellectual property.
