Usain Bolt Files Trademark for Victory Pose
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Usain Bolt has just filed a trademark for his signature victory pose. The pose in question was first made known to the masses during his record-breaking run at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. This placed Bolt as the world's fastest man, and with it, came his signature pose where he stands with a wide stance, leaning back with one elbow bent while pointing to the sky.
The filing description reads: "The silhouette of a man in a distinctive pose, with one arm bent and pointing to the head, and the other arm raised and pointing upward." Filed on August 17, this logo -- perhaps to be used like the iconic Jumpman silhouette or SHAQ Dunkman logo --is said to be connected to products such as jewelry, purses, shoes, and other sporting goods, but it also extends to offerings like catering and loyalty programs.
