Chelsea's young star Cole Palmer has registered his "shivering" celebration with the UK Intellectual Property Office, securing copyright for it. This decision sets a precedent in the football world by prohibiting the use of this gesture without Palmer's permission. BARIŞ ALPER WAS DOING IT TOOPalmer's shivering gesture after scoring involves rubbing his hands against his arms, and it has become his signature celebration. However, recently, Galatasaray player Barış Alper Yılmaz also drew attention by performing this celebration in a match. Now, it will no longer be legally possible for this gesture to be used without Palmer's permission. The "shivering" celebration, which gained significant attention on social media after Barış Alper Yılmaz performed it in a match, can no longer be showcased by other players following Cole Palmer's registration move. HE WILL NEED TO GET PERMISSIONThis development could open the door to a new era in protecting iconic movements of players on the field with copyright. Recognized for his originality, Palmer now aims to generate income both on the field and in commercial areas with this gesture. Players like Barış Alper Yılmaz will need to obtain Palmer's permission to use this gesture again.
