Butterbean Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 On this point. I started a sock business too last year, because of the type of sock(non slip) which was mainly made for Football and cricket, and some rugby players use it too, We were forced to have it manufactured in China as nobody in South Africa has the machine to apply the non slip silicone to the socks. Long story short, I designed my own sock, the lines used on my sock which would distinguish my socks from other non slip sock companies I designed myself, I have the drawings done in pencil with dimensions and everything, this was sent to the manufacturer and they made a few samples before we settled on a final product, fast forward 6 months down the line and a buddy of mine finds my exact sock design, same lines, same dimensions, EXACT SAME NON SLIP SOCK, minus my company name across the toe area of the socks, online on a chinese website selling them as "non slip basketball socks".. The factory themselves who manufactured our socks then manufactured a whole bunch more for a online store, nothing different to MY SOCKS WHICH I PERSONALLY DESIGNED besides that they left off my company name on the toe area!! Point is, there is nothing which can be done really.. Like has been said before, Versus arent the 1st company to come with Jelly Bean socks and wont be the last, And like I was told, there is nothing I can do to the supplier who decided to sell MY design as their own...While it's a *** story, maybe those romours of Chinese carbon bits being sold out the back door aren't that bogus??
Stretch Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Versus are Performance Socks! Would you really sacrifice your performance on the bike to save a few bucks? No way Jose!You mean if I buy a pair of versus I'll finally get that kom I've been trying for for the last ten years?

'Kaze Pete Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Will this become the Chinese Sock thread, or do we have to start a separate thread for that?
majoubert@mweb.co.za Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Thats what I would have done. This is now the second time that this lady is causing brand damage for Versus. They should leave the Social Media up to Hanno and Jurgens....She is doing them a favour! Great disruptive marketing!They can thank Checkers for the compliment and the lady for her marketing skills!

"Disruptive" seems to be the new thing, that catch phrase gets tossed around like skittles lately. Here's another one; short term gains, long term losses.
