Cole Palmer has successfully trademarked the nickname ‘Cold Palmer’—his application to do so having been accepted by the UK's Intellectual Property Office.
The 23-year-old is one of world football’s best attacking midfielders, following a meteoric rise at Chelsea, but he’s also established himself as a cultural figure as a result of an iconic celebration that went viral during a particularly rich vein of form.
The broad outline of Palmer’s trademark, valid until 2034 as it stands, is that no other athlete can use that specific term for commercial purposes without his permission. He will now also be able to launch a range of products, per , that ranges from toys and food snacks to drones and bath salts—quite the variety.
What follows is likely to be the trademarking of his ‘ice-cold’ celebration, where he crosses and rubs his arms, posing as if he was shivering—that process is already underway.
Three years ago, Palmer was a complete stranger from the spotlight, now he’s one of the most talked about players in the game.
