new gtlds Will Kanye West buy Kids.Supply?

[Alex Domain]

Kanye West put the .SUPPLY extension on the map when we launched his new clothing line under the domain YEEZY.SUPPLY.

Now its been reported Kanye has launched a clothing line for kids call KIDS SUPPLY - however this time he is using the domain thekidssupply.com.

KIDS.SUPPLY looks to be registered to German company FUTURE GMBH.

What do you think?

Seems to be a lot of people and companies making sense of the .supply extension - and considering the fresh new .SUPPLY extension added a whole new level of hype and curiosity to kanyes launch - do you think hell offer for KIDS.SUPPLY?

Could KIDS.SUPPLY be the first big .supply sale?

Amazon and eBay already own quite a few .supply domains including : home.supply book.supply shoe.supply kitchen.supply

they all forward to amazon/ebay, they aren't their own brands. And selling to 99% of other end users is completely different than amazon or ebay getting the domain they want because they will always be first to get them with nTLDs.

Not that .supply isn't good because I think it's one of the best nTLDs given its clear use and wide commercial potential...that being said I'd take $18k for RugSupply.com in a heartbeat, but that's just me. I know you have a good .supply portfolio but don't take these kinds of offers for granted. best of luck Alex

Their brand is called THE Kids Supply, so thekids.supply would be more fitting for their branding.

True - but just speaking from my own point of view - i still think if i was Kanye Id go for the generic Kids.Supply. Plenty of companies shorten their company name for domains. 3L.com's are commonly used to abbreviate longer company names. And i also think over time if THE KIDS SUPPLY gains enough consumer transaction - likely the customers will drop the "the" when they refer to the company anyway. Just like "the facebook".

Personally dont like 2 "S" squeezed next to eachother in a domain. Thats why i like Kids.Supply so much. The dot breaks up the word nicely and its obviously much easier on the eyes and makes for better branding.

I think the average eye will much quicker register and remember Kids.Supply over thekidssupply.org - and i mean - isnt that the whole point of a quality domain???

Looks like they very recently bought KidsSupply.com and KidSupply.com. Both names redirecting to TheKidsSupply.com. I found this link on screenshots.com and it looks like KidsSupply.com sold for only $1,077 and KidSupply.com for $600. What a steal. Whois shows Jenner Communications which is Kim Kardashian's mother Kris Jenner.

They own the only two domains that matter. Kids.Supply will probably sit unsold for a long long time.

Recently registered In January 2017 TheKidSupply.com sells kids stuff through an Amazon store. That will be an easy UDRP.

KidSupply.com is for sale
The owner of this domain has listed it for sale for $600
Buy KidSupply.com now >

KidsSupply.com is for sale
The owner of this domain has listed it for sale for $1,077

Thanks for sharing. interesting stuff!! I wonder if any of these owners/sellers are aware that a high networth individual is pursuing these names. from what i understand the family is very aggressive when it comes to controlling their TMs.

However, when looking closer at UDRP concerns - you need to file trademark over a number of categories (no blanket coverage) and kids.supply can easily be used for accessories, toys, entertainment, internet marketplace etc.

The Kardashian family would have to file their trademark over a wide number of categories and also prove their use (over time) - so until their kids venture becomes some kind of fao schwartz /walmart/six flags for kids - there may actually be validity to holding similar domain names - especially when dealing with such generic trading/supply terms.

At the end of the day whoevers pockets are fatter will come out the victor - but nonethless fun to keep track of these nGtlds when so early in their history
