Johan Cruijff can not just put the name Vondelpark on his sneakers. Football legend now sells shoes with that name on it, but the association Friends of the Vondelpark says he must pay.
The municipality owns the brand Vondelpark and the name should not be abused, says board member Olaf Paul Peacock Vliet.
The Vondelpark sneakers are inspired by a shoe that Cruyff was used by the Amsterdam park. "Nonsense," said Paul Peacock Vliet. "And if you have the name used you just have to pay. It is a registered trademark. It can not be that a commercial company money to earn, while volunteers to work in the park because there is no money for maintenance. "
jurists
According to Paul Peacock Vliet go jurists of the municipality contact the company Cruyff. He himself called with the company. "But they told me they did not see it as a brand name Vondelpark on their shoes."
