Not so much in the UK, but we’ll just have to wait and see. It may just end up that, in the UK, they’ll be called ThreadsUK or some legally-acceptable variant of the name that “meaningfully distinguishes” them according to the court.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And disapprove of the name only because that sounds pretty cool

Like The London Suede, whom no one, at any time has ever referred to as The London Suede

I’m inclined to believe you, because I’ve never heard of it!

them.. Suede the band :) In the US their CD's are labeled The London Suede cause some kids out in California or some shit were called Suede first and wouldn't settle for a reasonable amount, so Suede got to keep their name in the states, never saw a penny, and when anyone on this planet mentiones Suede theyre not talking about the american kids waah waaaah
