Cole Palmer launches bid to trademark shivering goal celebration in move which could make him millions
GOAL machine Cole Palmer is set to make an ice little earner — by trademarking his shivering celebration.
The Chelsea and England scoring sensation, 22, has moved to ringfence the name “Cold Palmer”.
Documents reveal he wants to use it to flog booze, diet drinks, food, clothes, toys, aftershaves, cosmetics, razors and even cars.
His application to the government’s Intellectual Property Office even includes a video of his celebration.
It sees him rub his hands over his arms to mimic shivering when he scores, which is a lot — with 11 Prem goals already this season.
Palmer first did it last December during a 3-2 win at Luton Town. He got the idea from his former Manchester City academy teammate, Morgan Rogers, who has performed the celebration for Middlesbrough.
Set the tills ringing
Palmer told his pal Rogers, now at Aston Villa, he would do it too if he scored – and now he’s set to make millions after making it his own.
And the star has already set the tills ringing at the fashion house Burberry – his £2,500 duffle coat is selling like hotcakes.
He has been signed to be one of the faces of the English firm’s new range of clobber – alongside Oscar-winning film star Olivia Colman.
And the down-to-earth former Euro 2024 hero’s first jaunt in the world of pricey high fashion is proving a hit with buyers with cash to burn.
Cole is featured in a video for Burberry, wearing the expensive garment for a solo fishing trip. And the campaign is already netting results.
Just days after the new range was launched, the ‘bramble’ cashmere and wool coat was sold out.
Burberry launched the new campaign titled “It’s Always Burberry Weather,” featuring a star-studded line up that also includes fellow England footballer Eberechi Eze, along with actor and Manchester United fan Barry Keoghan.
Alongside Palmer, Eze, Keoghan, and Colman, the campaign features high-profile figures like BAFTA-winning actor Zhang Jingyi, model Cara Delevingne and BRIT Award-winning musician Simz.
Daniel Lee, Chief Creative Officer at Burberry, said the campaign encapsulates the spirit of the campaign by emphasising the brand’s dedication to protection, functionality, and the outdoors.
He said: “We are always inspired by our archive and the innovation and creativity of the brand. The campaign promotes the house’s silhouettes: protective and enduring.”
I’M A CELEBRATE-Y
OTHER trademarked celebrations include ex-Wales star Gareth Bale’s. He ringfenced his “heart” gesture and shirt number.
Man United’s Marcus Rashford registered his “finger to head” move while France’s Kylian Mbappé did the same with his crossed arms.
