Bronson Reed Confirms Copyright Infringement Led To Shirt Being Changed
Bronson Reed provides clarity on a recent change made to one of his official shirts.
After stealing the shoes of “The Tribal Chief” Roman Reigns on WWE Raw, Bronson Reed was fittingly dubbed “The Tribal Thief.” Reed warmly welcomed the nickname, so much so that WWE created a shirt marked with “Tribal Thief” and a pair of shoes resembling Nike sneakers. As quickly as the shirt went up on WWE Shop, however, it came down, with the company also cancelling orders in the process.
During an interview with Battleground Podcast, Reed confirmed that this move stemmed from copyright issues. The shirt has since been revived on WWE Shop, though without the sneaker images.
“Well, it is still there. It’s still available, but it’s altered,” Reed said. “Yes, you can still buy it, but there was some copyright infringement stuff there that they had to remove the shoes, which is fair enough. I get it, but I personally was hoping that they’ll just put on some generic shoes.
“The whole thing was I was walking around with people’s shoes around my neck, but they just decided to keep it as the Tribal Thief logo. So, if I have my way, I’ll make sure that the shirt hopefully can come back out with the shoes on it.”
This Saturday, Bronson Reed will face Roman Reigns in an Australian Street Fight at WWE Crown Jewel, which emanates from Perth, Australia. Reed reportedly inked a new multi-year deal with WWE a while ago.
