Field & Stream Magazine - We have no relation to Dicks

Post by Bruenor »

Wonder how many irate calls they've received since the big Dicks incident of 2018.

we thought is was important to remind sportsmen that Field & Stream (the media brand) and Field and Stream (the sporting goods brand and retailer owned by Dick's Sporting Goods) are in no way connected. We understand how that could be confusing for many, but it is the truth. The two brands are owned by different companies and are in no way related.

If they are in no way connected, how is it that the Field and Stream retail is able to use the name?

Maybe because "and" is not the same as "&"?

From what I've read elsewhere, the publishing name rights and the retail name licensing rights were split off and sold LONG ago.

Because they are not technically in the same business. You can have a McDonald's Book Store and McDonald's the restaurant can't do anything about it. One is a magazine and the other is a retail store.

Yes, Dick's Sporting Goods and Field and Stream retail stores, Dick-Stream for short, have no relation to the magazine.

And now we're seeing Dick-Stream being cut off by various vendors.

Personally, when Dick-Stream is finished, I'll feel much better.
