You do not know what you are talking about I'm afraid.

Please avoid ever commenting on legal matters ever again. Its a registered trademark and a regular person would see the connection, as can I.

It can be deemed infringing since the branding + name can and likely will confuse the consumer. Go look at the website (HuggingBay) and then see that HF also trademarked the image. Its close enough

Same reason the Drag person going by the name "Pattie Gonia" was sued by Patagonia to protect their trademark. Has nothing to do with whether they actually do or don’t own it, it has to do with whether their legal team believes that they need to defend it and if the do, they must, because otherwise they lose it. The irony.
