hello and thanks for writing to Dischord. We were surprised, angry, and
quite frankly offended to find out that Nike has appropriated the Minor
Threat artwork for use in a skateboard demo/ advertisement campaign.
Rest assured that Dischord had no advance warning this was going to
happen nor did the label or the band grant Nike permission to use the
Minor Threat name or imagery. I have received many angry emails in the
last several days from supporters of Minor Threat and this label and I
would encourage you to resend your comments directly to Nike. As of
this moment we are looking into what, if anything, we can do to make
Nike stop using our images to sell their shoes. Many thanks for your
support and understanding.Alec
