Okay guys PEACE PLEASE!

I can see both sides. Using a logo that is trademarked is wrong. With that said, I purchased a Rolex hat, not from Leo, but never the less a hat that wasn't made by Rolex or their permission.

I purchased it because I wanted a hat with that logo and I couldn't buy it from Rolex. I bought my Tag hat from Tag, because they sell them and they give them to customers.

The problem is, people like hats and clothing with logos and if they are not available directly from a licensed seller, what am I going to do? In my case, I bought the fake one. I wanted that particular item and knowing it was a "fake" item, purchased it willingly and knowingly.

I do not think Leo is trying to pass off Rolex hats as licensed merchandise.

Fakes are the highest form of compliment for a product, people want that product. These products do infringe on the rights of the trade mark holder and do cost them money.....but if Rolex was worried about it, in my view they would open a website and sell official merchandise like Chevy or Dodge.

So why can't you guys just agree to disagree and not pick with each other? Live and let live...life is too short to fight about hats!!!!!
