I've wanted this Super7 USS Flagg shirt for quite some time but it seems that large is always sold out. (link: https://super7.com/products/gi-joe-t-shirt-u-s-s-flagg)
Then I just noticed that ViperIsland is selling a VERY similar shirt (link: https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/38...ght-carrier-99) on TeePublic and it looks like the design was completely ripped off. It even looks like some of the "The Cobra Crusher" text wasn't erased entirely. Then the crossed out Cobra logo got replaced with the ViperIsland logo. What happened here?

Now I just found this Cobra Commander shirt being sold by ViperIsland. Wasn't this the PulseCon shirt?? https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/35370919-commander

Unfortunately, this is common to TeePublic's site because "anyone" can sell there. I've seen this happen to some creatives I know. You can report the evidence to the site and, from what I've seen, they react accordingly.

Good call. I reported the account. I am amazed anyone would think blatantly ripping off someone else's design and slapping their own logo on it is a good idea.

I imagine most get away with it because the internet is such a huge place. An acquaintance of mine designs tees, so he sells on multiple forums just to keep others from stealing his works. TP gets a (somewhat) bad rap for it all, but man they have some of the most comfortable tees I've ever worn. So, I figured out where they were sourcing them and started buying direct (unprinted).

also, not to defend someone who likely stole a design, but companies in the past have been caught stealing someone's design. |

The guy kinda has no shame. It's actually scary to be honest.
