Minor Threat vs Nike

Monday, June 27th, 2005

One of the best punk hardcore bands ever has had their album cover art ripped off by Nike.

The band Minor Threat has had Nike steal their “Complete Discography” art and use it in an ad.

Dischord isn’t too happy about it either. In this statement released.

No, they stole it and we’re not happy about it. Nike is a giant corporation which is attempting to manipulate the alternative skate culture to create an even wider demand for their already ubiquitous brand. Nike represents just about the antithesis of what Dischord stands for and it makes me sick to my stomach to think they are using this explicit imagery to fool kids into thinking that the general ethos of this label, and Minor Threat in particular, can somehow be linked to Nike’s mission. It’s disgusting.
