Management considers the "Blue Bird" trade name to have an indefinite useful life and, accordingly, it is not subject to amortization. Management reached this conclusion principally due to the longevity of the Blue Bird name and because management considers renewal upon reaching the legal limit of the trademarks related to the trade name as perfunctory. The Company expects to maintain usage of the trade name on existing products and introduce new products in the future that will also display the trade name. During the fourth quarters of fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2020, we performed our annual impairment assessment of our trade name, which did not indicate that an impairment existed; therefore, no impairment of our indefinite lived intangible has been recorded. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 20 years. Engineering designs are amortized on a straight-line basis over an estimated life of 2 or 7 years. Total amortization expense for intangible assets was $2.2 million, $3.1 million, and $2.9 million for fiscal 2021, fiscal 2020, and fiscal 2019, respectively. Amortization expense for finite lived intangible assets for the next five years is expected to be as follows:
(in thousands)
Fiscal Years Ending |  | Amortization Expense
2022 |  | $ | 2,010 |
2023 |  | 2,010 |
2024 |  | 1,869 |
2025 |  | 1,869 |
2026 |  | 1,869 |
Thereafter |  | — |
Total amortization expense |  | $ | 9,627 |
