Do you know what? Who cares, I’d be happy to donate or raise a bit of cash for them to get a new badge made to not get sued.

The bloke on the left has chosen the wrong time for a cheeky piss.
I'm sure I've heard somewhere before that we are legally obliged to defend our image rights, even if we don't really care in this case, as, if we didn't, this could lead to our logo becoming free for anyone to use.
Any legal types know if that's true or completely made up?

How far do you go with that? There is/was a rugby league team in Australia called the Seagulls for example, would the image rights extend to a nickname?
If we really don't want them to use the logo (and I can see why), then I hope we're the sort of club that would help them sort out an alternative and get new kit etc. Maybe invite them over for a game - or go over there. I'm sure there's something we can do to support a club who clearly have a soft spot for us. Better than crushing them because we can (and not very Albion).

Apparently the team runs out to a stirring rendition of 'Good Old Koprivnica-Križevci By The Sea'

If that’s the case, we best be worried about an incoming letter from Weston-Super-Mare AFC
No idea, I'm not sure it's even true!
Sounds like we and West Brom have some sort of formal agreement to not go after other clubs called 'Albion', presume Seagulls is treated similarly, so possibly the trademark can be written in such a way as to limit where you need to take action
Albion: has the name for ancient Britain really been trademarked by football clubs?
Brighton and West Brom have secured the rights to the name which was used as far back as the sixth century – and historians are not taking the news well

We didn`t have that badge until 2011/12 !Since 2001, apparently!
The English club was founded in 1901, while the Podravina club emerged in 2001 from the merger of two local lower-league teams.
At the time of its founding, the club adopted Brighton’s crest, coinciding with Brighton’s promotion to the third tier of English football.

Is it wrong to say I prefer that to most of the Nike away kits?
Jumpers for goalposts.

It's been a while since I've said Jimmy Hill.
the irony of 'seagulls is there must be loads of clubs where were peasant nicknames before us . . . . We were posh until the 70's
maybe it was a law suit from Miami

Yes, it's why Steve Parish threatened to sue Armitage Shanks.

Nah, that would be like claiming ownership of the Red Lion as a pub name.
Really not the same as specific logo design.
