If you follow Cole Palmer (Chelsea)'s goal ceremony for commercial purposes at least in the UK, you may have to pay a large amount of damages. The BBC reported on the 9th (Korea time) that Palmer has completed the trademark registration process for his goal ceremony and nickname.

After scoring, Palmer performs a ceremony of rubbing his arms with his hands. It is named after his nickname, Cold Palmer. He seems to have connected the nickname derived from the cool-headed calm play to the goal ceremony.

Palmer explained that it is a measure to prevent commercial consumption of his image. An official from Palmer said "This does not mean that other players or children should not follow the ceremony. It is intended to be in a more advantageous position when images and ceremonies are used for commercial purposes."




It is common for global stars to register their trademark rights for their nicknames or ceremonies. Commercial use of Ronaldo's 'Siwoo Ceremony' is also restricted. Ronaldo has also registered his trademark rights. However, there have been no sanctions on other players playing on the ground to express their joy in scoring. In addition to Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Beckham have registered trademarks for their ceremonies and nicknames. In addition to soccer, stars in other sports are also taking measures to prevent commercial abuse by registering trademark rights for unique images such as their initials and nicknames.

There are several similar cases among domestic sports stars. The most representative is Park Chan-ho, who played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in the U.S. Major League Baseball. During his time as the Dodgers, he engaged in various activities based on a brand that combined the uniform back number 61, and the English name 'PARK'.
