Have you seen the Amrican Eagle things at payless shoe source???

Question

I am not sure if they are two different types of brands but it has the same name as Amrican Eagle at the mall!! Can american eagle outfitters sue for the right of the American Eagle name??

Answer 1

No, they probably let them sell their shoes there. Its good advertising about american eagle and people will want to go there. I have a pair of ballet flats from AE but i got them in payless.

Answer 2

I am the assistant manager at American Eagle Outfitters so I can answer your question CORRECTLY. In NO SHAPE OR FORM do the American Eagle shoes at Payless Shoe Store have anything to do with American Eagle Outfitters. I am not sure how or why Payless is getting away with it but I guess time will tell if if will stay that way. American Eagle would never let someone else sell their product, we can sell it just fine in OUR stores. Hope that helps! ;o)

Answer 3

I've seen the shoes by "American Eagle" in payless stores. They might have made a deal with Payless..like alot of store brands will sometimes give the rights of their product to other companies. Like Poptarts gave their rights to America's Choice.

Answer 4

no, one may be marked american eagle outfitters and the other may be marked american eagle. their pretty much the same but they are from the same parent company. they arent fake but their another line made by the company to sell at payless. they want to make it affordable and a lot of designers make different lines at chain stores.

Answer 5

Is one of them american eagle and the other is american eagle outfitters? If thats true then they do not have the same name. Therefore there is nothing wrong with it.

Answer 6

i saw that the other day..
it is the same american eagle as the store
they are allowing them to sell their shoes and bags
they are like sponsoring them and payless paid them for the stuff so no

Answer 7

yah know i was wondering the same thing but i'm thinkin they might be connected in some way. i was in payless and i heard the cashier say something about people being surprised about them having american eagle stuff there. this makes me wonder why they just dont sell it at their store.....

Answer 8

yess i have seen them. they are a different brand, because they do not have the word OUTFITTERS in them. they are still cheap and worth it cuz everyone will think they are the cool ones. i love their flip flops and they are much cheaper

Answer 9

yes they are two different brands.
I'm not really sure about the name thing, but i've heard of music artists [[like mariah carey]] sue people just for their names even tho they aren't really even similar.
