Despite the opposition from city residents, Liverpool FC have won the right to continue using the name ‘Liver bird', liverpoolecho.com announced.

Alfie Hincks, a former City councillor from Fazakerly, applied to revoke the decision and submitted lots of evidences the bird has been a symbol of Liverpool for a long time. He disappointed with the judgement and commented to the liverpoolecho.com :

“I was absolutely convinced that with the amount of evidence we had sent in and the amount of information they had we would persuade them it was a symbol of our city.”

He will continue his battle and uncover more evidences to support his claim with the great-grandson of Carl Bartels, the German architect who designed the birds. 

“If anyone should be allowed to have this trademark it should be the family, but Mr.Bartels designed the bird for the city of Liverpool.”,
he added. Read more about this trademark case here.
