“Stanton Woodrush was advised last week Thursday by Safa's attorney’s that Safa has no intention of purchasing the trademark, and that they will be going ahead with the name change of the South African national men’s football team,” the company said in a statement on Monday.
The statement also stated that the national football federation did not require Stanton Woodrush’s permission to use the name, and the idea to change the name Bafana Bafana had been driven by Safa. No negotiations had taken place regarding the sale of the trademark.
“Stanton Woodrush has always indicated to Safa that it is a willing seller of the name, and that it would not be unreasonable as regards the price,” the statement read.
“Safa, however, has never engaged with Stanton Woodrush to discuss the purchase, and has certainly never presented an offer to Stanton Woodrush.” – Sapa
