ITG posts fan responses to the "Ultimate" debate

Well, take that for what's it's worth...I'm sure UD could ask for opinions, get some good ones and bad ones, and only post the good ones.

I for one, would find it hilarious if Upper deck did something about this,
I mean, they are getting pretty much slammed right there and there's not even a 'itg does not neccesarily endorse this or share the opinions shared below.'
upper deck's name is used clear out,

ITG needs to walk away from the spilled milk, dry their tears, and try and find something else to do.

If they're this upset about people shelling out 100$+ for a pack of UD ultimate while under the impression it is ITG, I question their business model, and their research patterns.
There aren't a whole lot of people who are uninformed about the hobby that drop that kind of coin on a product without checking into it at least a little (reading the wrapper perhaps)


To ITG:
I agree with you on this issue, completely, Upper Deck is in the wrong with this one and I'm sure they realize it. With that said, what is all this whining and complaining going to do?...nothing.
Move on and continue to offer collectors what they wants, product.

It's not all in a name. Sure there's a select few who will buy based on name, but, honestly, that's their screwup.
I know there's a bigger issue here of seeming copyright's and all that jazz, but really, in my eyes it comes down to the product itself, not the name on the card.

Those are the same dead-on thoughts that went through my mind. If there was copyright infringement, then ITG should've already filed that the minute of hearing about UD's intent to issue a product under that name. However, we only hear about the 'spilled milk' sentiments.

Again, I agree with ITG... but if there's copyright infringement, then take some legal action... not solicit customer feedback and hope for sypmathy. It seems that ITG definitely has too much time on their hands.

Correct; not trying to make any secrets about it or anything.

I should have figured this thread would get some backlash, maybe even from people who have supported ITG , since this IS taking it pretty far. I do support their stance though.

There's nothing stopping UD from doing the same thing, so why don't they?
 
It's actually a fun read - most of those remarks are from the hockey faithful here at HI and Beckett. Match the comment to the user...I smell a contest....
 
ANd I'm not so sure they would have had to sift through a lot of yays or nays; likely the majority of the mail they received was in their support.

Andy, yours was easy to pick out due to the writing style, and the reference to 'not buying a lot of packs" I do listen in class, between the frequent naps!
