    I think it's pretty dang close to being a copyright infringement on the logo for Brooks shoes.

    When I see this new Supra logo, it certainly makes me think of Brooks

    It's ugly, I agree with you all. It's a shame too.....

    I wonder how long till they change out the clothing and gear section with this new logo and crap?

    I won't be buying anymore if they do. That's it, I'll be done with Supra as a loyalist.

    Save your mula - just go to Kohls and buy Brooks Logo T-shirts for $5.00.

    No-one will know the difference.

    I keep wondering... who are these new so called "SC Marketing people" making all these changes, and why don't they ever communicate with the Supra and Moomba owners like the days of old (Warren (god love him), Littman and Carrera)?

    You know there is no longer a Supra/Moomba dealership in Orlando?

    C'mon - Orlando! The so called Waking Boarding Capitol of the World.

    Who's taking care of the boats that the team athletes use? I know one of them turned in their Moomba and I don't think they got another.

    Tough to remain a loyalist

    Marketing is handled by a new girl from Malibu/Axis.

    I don't see the Brooks comparison, I think it's a wholly different shape and balance. I'm a runner and have wore Brooks before, didn't even enter my mind. By the same logic you could say the Nike swoosh is infringed upon too, only because it has that forward then backward return shape.

    I agree that it's not copyright infringement, but it's just a slap in the face of longtime, loyal Supra owners. It's abandoning the history of the brand to embrace the newer generations. It's a lack of respect for the original brand, it confuses your loyalists, and is a very short-term strategy as compared to brands which stand the test of time.

    Cody, you don't run enough and haven't owned enough different shoes

    to me it's close to Brooks, to others it's close to a turkey wishbone.
