Is there more to this story? We’d like to hear from you about this or any other stories you think we should know about.Barcelona’s players will have the owl-shaped logo of Canadian rapper Drake on their jerseys at Real Madrid on Sunday in the first “clásico” of the season in the Spanish league.īarcelona said Friday that it will swap the logo of new sponsor Spotify for the Grammy-winning artist’s logo in the form of an owl silhouette. It’s a global brand and it most likely generates a significant amount of HERE to report a typo. “While it may seem innocuous and not very connected if someone drops $20 or $30 on a hat or T-shirt or sticker, in aggregate we’re talking about a lot of money. Houghton said it’s common knowledge that money generated from the sale of support gear is used for the Hells Angels defence fund, which helps its members fight charges for murder and other crimes. “We certainly wouldn’t have to remind folks back in Ontario and Quebec, especially those who lived through the unbelievably violent gang wars of the ’80s and ’90s.” “We don’t think we have to remind many people here in British Columbia of some of the tragedies that have come at the hands of the Hells Angels and other gangs and organized crime groups,” he said. Toronto police spokesman Mark Pugash said that because no one is suggesting Drake is breaking the law by wearing the support gear, it would be inappropriate for the force to comment. Support merchandise, like the hoodie worn by Drake, can be worn by anyone and is generally sold with branding such as “Support 81,” “Support Red and White” or “Support Big Red Machine.”
The club only allows its own members to wear clothing printed with the words “Hells Angels” or the club’s “death’s head” logo. “They want individuals like him to wear their paraphernalia and propaganda to portray a positive image, to counteract and provide a counter-message to messages and reporting from the media and police and, quite frankly, from the victims who they’ve impacted.” The Hells Angels retail store on Carlaw Avenue in Toronto is pictured on September 17, 2013. “This is a walking billboard for the Hells Angels and this is exactly what the Hells Angels want,” he said. Houghton is questioning why Drake, with his massive fan base and influence, would wear the branding of an international criminal organization whose members have been convicted of drug trafficking and extremely violent offences, including “very high-profile gang wars where children were killed” and murders across the globe. The Grammy-award-winning musician is celebrated for his charitable work. He pointed to Drake’s statuses as a role model for youth and children, holder of a key to the City of Toronto and global ambassador for the Toronto Raptors basketball team.
