In 1992, FUCT released its “Goodfellas” T-shirt. The T-shirt features a portrait of the film's main cast, re-appropriated to include the brand's logo. The “Goodfellas” design is thought to be the first piece of streetwear to reference film as part of its branding. In 1999, The Face magazine named FUCT as one of the top forty iconic labels in fashion. In 2011, Complex Magazine ranked FUCT as the 7th greatest streetwear brand "of all time". In his ranking of the brand, author Bobby Hundreds stated there was "a reason why a good chunk of the top contenders [on the list had] stolen fragments of their identity from Brunetti's creations." Larry Clark's personal collection of FUCT apparel added to the foundation of his exhibition, "Printed Matter", installed at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2013. The apparel exhibited by Clark was then purchased by Cornell University Library’s Rare Book and Manuscript department due to its cultural significance and affiliation with Clark's work. FUCT is known for its influence on other streetwear brands and fashion designers. The iconography used in A Bathing Ape's merchandise can be directly linked to graphics used in FUCT's Planet of the Apes designs. In its infancy, Shepard Fairey's streetwear brand Obey appropriated heavily from FUCT's design language, namely the latter's logo and graffiti-inspired imagery. Notable people who have worn FUCT clothing include Leonardo DiCaprio in the 2000 film, "The Beach ", Rihanna, Hailey Baldwin, and Billie Eilish. Musician Trent Reznor has been seen wearing FUCT apparel during studio recording sessions. In Nirvana's most famous band photoshoot, Dave Grohl can be seen wearing a FUCT baseball cap. Rage Against the Machine front-man Zach de la Rocha can be seen wearing FUCT's Ford Motors logo in the video for Bullet in the Head. In 2011, Brunetti applied for a federal trademark for the brand name due to a number of knock-offs online. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied the trademark citing the power to “scandalous” trademark applications through the Lanham Act. A federal appeals court in Washington ruled in his favor in 2017, but was appealed by the Trump administration, reaching the U.S. Supreme Court. On June 24, 2019, in the case "Iancu v. Brunetti", the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Patent and Trademark Office cannot deny trademark registration due to a name being "immoral" or "scandalous," citing that the provision infringes the First Amendment.
