Football meets fashion. Celebration meets commerce. And Cole Palmer? He’s at the centre of it all, as cool as ever.
In a slick off-the-pitch move, Chelsea’s shinning star is turning his now-iconic “Cold Palmer” celebration into a certified brand. You know the one, ice in his veins, that shivering pose after a big goal? Yeah, that’s not just for the cameras anymore. Cole’s trademarking it. Literally.
And here’s how it works—and why both Palmer and his fans stand to win big.
The Ice-Cold Blueprint: How You Trademark a Vibe
1. Locking It Down
Palmer has officially gotten approval by the UK’s Intellectual Property Office to trademark the name “Cold Palmer” and even the shivering celebration itself. It’s called a motion trademark, and yes, it’s as cool as it sounds.
2. All the Merch You Can Imagine
The application covers a mountain of merch: clothing, toys, soft drinks, toiletries, razors—even wine at one point (more on that in a sec).
3. Wine Gets in the Way
Château Palmer, a fancy French winery that didn’t take kindly to a footballer stepping into their vineyard. They filed a formal objection. Palmer’s team? Chilled out and dropped wine from the list. Conflict avoided.
4. What It All Means
With the trademark being approved, Cole gets exclusive rights to “Cold Palmer” for anything commercial, from official merch to licensing deals. But don’t worry: your Sunday League celebration won’t land you in court. The trademark only covers business use.
Chelsea and England playmaker Cole Palmer has successfully trademarked the term ‘Cold Palmer’.

What Cole Gets: From Pitch to Paycheck
- Serious Money Moves
“Cold Palmer” isn’t just a nickname it’s a business now. Palmer can license it to clothing brands, drinks companies, and toy makers, bringing in extra income with every hoodie or water bottle sold. - Brand Control
No one can slap his name or celebration on cheap knock-off merch. He owns the identity. That keeps things authentic and top quality. - Bigger Brand = Bigger Deals
Sponsors love a marketable player, and Palmer just added major value to his name. Endorsement deals? Campaigns? Limited drops? You bet. - Future-Proofing
Football careers don’t last forever—but branding does. “Cold Palmer” could live on as a lifestyle brand long after the final whistle blows on his career.
What Fans Get: More Than Just a Goal Celebration
- Real Merch, No Knockoffs
Get ready for official “Cold Palmer” T-shirts, hoodies, scarves—maybe even figurines. It’s your favorite celebration, now in your wardrobe. - Cooler Collabs
Whether it’s gaming, fashion, or limited-edition drops, Palmer’s brand opens the door for exciting fan experiences that go beyond matchday. - Cultural Status
“Cold Palmer” could become football’s next iconic moment—up there with the Ronaldo “Siuuu” or Mbappé’s folded arms. And you were there from the start. - Bye, Bootleg Merch
With legal rights secured, Palmer can keep low-quality or fake “Cold Palmer” gear off the shelves. That means cleaner, better, more legit stuff for the fans.
Final Whistle: Cool, Clever, and Commercial
Cole Palmer isn’t just scoring goals—he’s playing 4D chess. Trademarking “Cold Palmer” could be a masterstroke: blending football flair with business brains.
It gives fans a chance to connect with their hero in new ways—and gives Palmer a powerful platform to build his legacy off the pitch.
He’s not just cold-blooded in front of goal anymore. He’s cool in the boardroom too.
So when you see that shiver next time, just know—it’s not just a celebration anymore.
It’s a brand.
It’s a movement.
It’s Cold Palmer.
