PROPRINTWEAR

A friend was at a tournament and noticed a fencer that had a shirt with what appears to be our logo on it, except it had “US Fencer” underneath it.  It’s pretty much our logo with the red and blue colors reversed, nothing else is changed.  We haven’t been able to find this shirt anywhere, so whoever was selling it probably figured out their graphic designer ripped the logo from us.  We’re not totally certain which company it was, but we’re fairly certain.

Proprintwear still carries products that bear a resemblance to the All-American Fencing Academy shield and colors.  Proprintwear no longer appears to be in business.

CLUB ESGRIMA MAYORGA

The Brand Imitators

Scherma Giannone Caserta is an Spanish fencing club.  We received a message from a fellow coach that another club was using our logo with color modifications.

REPUBLIC FENCING

The Brand Imitators

We love our fellow fencers in the Philippines.  We’ve had various slogans we use with our marketing.  “We dare you not to love it.” is the one we commonly used.  The slogan also has an extended version: “Try fencing. We dare you not to love it.”  

It was a surprise to us when Coach Gerhard’s parents brought back a flyer from Republic Fencing in the Philippines that bore our slogan “Try fencing.  We dare you not to love it.”
