Sunday cycles has rebranded itself to Sabbath, it appears due to some legal threat from some septic's;

Now I've been shoving bits of cash away over winter, as I really fancied on of the silk road pro frames, and finances were just about getting there. But I just cannot warm to the new name ๐Ÿ™ Sunday was homely, felt british and I just liked it. Sabbath is a bit dramtic. I'm not angry just disappointed, tell me Sabbath is just as good ๐Ÿ˜ณ

May be more to do with the fact that [url= http://www.sundaybikes.com/v3/ ]Sunday[/url] is already an established BMX brand.

Good excuse to order a black one if you ask me [img] [/img]

TINAS, you answered your own question there - Superstar "components" don't sell BMX frames, or any frames for that matter. Both companies also seem to be small operations which can't afford to blow money on lawyer's fees.

If I win the Euro Million's (never enter it so not much chance) I might lend some money to Superstar BMX

It's all Class 12 though innit.

Interesting, that. I always thought that if you weren't likely to be confused, you could have the same name as [url= http://www.ononesoftware.com/ ]another company[/url], but apparently not. ๐Ÿ˜‰

I think there are quite a few examples of the Superstar/Super Star scenario though, where neither company really treads on each others' toes so they don't bother duking it out. I doubt anyone is going to confuse this:
