Our brains have seen so many brands and logos, that just a certain shape and color combination can be enough information. So it probably shouldn’t be surprising that some enterprising souls decided that license fees are for morons and the best plan is to simply make your own comically similar rip-off instead.
We’ve gathered the best examples of hilarious and shameless knockoff brands and characters from across the internet. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and share your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.

    I don't even wear polos, but I have a mighty need for this specific shirt.

    Yes! Equal rights for horses! Very Communist ideal! No more nice Horsey work for hay and cold stable! Wear the Red Shirt!

    Years ago at the peak of the preppie phase, I had a tie with a polo player riding a crocodile...

    What eldritch horror is that? It looks like something from medieval marginalia (monks used to get really bored and scribble really bizarre images in the margins of manuscripts like snails fighting rabbits.)

    I’ve seen this in Bali. They have no copyright laws there so there’s so many bad knockoffs. There’s even entire stores named and dedicated to Polo with knock off Ralph Lauren’s (though they don’t use his name) and because it’s upmarket for Bali and expensive people think it’s for real.

    I've often thought the horse should get a chance to ride a human. It's only fair.

    I 100% unequivocally support role reversal regarding human and animal sport.

    Walmart's Dr Thunder was always my favorite rename. It sounds like a KISS song title.
