SS branding
« on: May 21, 2015, 07:09:02 PM »
SS Ton say that all their bats from next season (at least in the UK market) will have burnt in TON edge stamps and not ink. Picture here https://twitter.com/toncricketuk/status/601452802498367488

I know you SS fans who like to refurb will be ecstatic!

That's not been the most interesting thing on their feed tonight. Wading in at SQ Sports and their non UK stock...

It's starting to escalate now. SQ are asking Ton why they aren't taking legal action!

Is that somebody at TON not understanding or are SQ pillared? I cannot see the Surridge on the bats but maybe I am wrong? All very public and ill-advised if you actually were looking to take legal action.

Where are SQ asking to escalate No.4 ? I'm sure there is a grey within the industry.

In further tweets Sq have replied to ton asking ton why they are not taking legal action? Ton response was we may be.

If you look at the ton bats sq have there is the wording sunridges on the rear stickers. This was the source of legal action from Stuart surridge a few years ago and why SS was rebranded to ton.

I'm well aware of the SS v SS (as are other forum member) time wasting time and money but I still cannot see anywhere in and on this thread where you can justify escalated.

The thing that confuses me, is that Indian market SS AND TON bats have Surridge on them. Its only UK market that don't, from my understanding/internet digging. So I am a bit confused why they are in such a huff. They have imported Indian TON bats with the branding that it not legal in the UK, but they cannot really do anything. Unless I am wrong with the branding?

That is in no way slander, if he was saying it personally then potentially but to display something in an unedited, public forum from a public website isn't slander.
