GCB laments infringement on GHE brand

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has come out against an online entity that is peddling the sale of Guyana Harpy Eagles (GHE) apparel.
In a statement made on Tuesday, the body governing cricket in Guyana clarified that the items bearing the name of the West Indies 4-Day Championship winning team are not legitimate, nor is the seller affiliated with the GCB.

The GCB wrote, “It has come to our attention that an online store is currently marketing and selling products under the registered brand Guyana Harpy Eagles, which is the sole property of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB).
“We wish to make it explicitly clear that these products are not legitimate or original, and the seller is not authorized to manufacture, distribute, or sell any merchandise under the Guyana Harpy Eagles brand.
“The Guyana Cricket Board has issued a formal cease and desist order to the parties involved. The sale and distribution of counterfeit or unauthorized branded items is illegal, and will result in serious legal consequences.
“We urge the public to refrain from purchasing these unauthorized products, and to report any such activity to the GCB. Only official merchandise from approved distributors should be considered authentic.
“Thank you for your cooperation.”
