[quote=Summo;1307237]The NCAA doesn't have revenue sharing like the NFL and each school relies on sales of merch and donors to keep their programs afloat so any copyright infringement where an outside entity could possibly be making money off their trademarks is a no no.[/quote]

Hmmm. Still seems petty. As if Chapman KS, population probably less than 2000, is going to somehow put a dent in Notre Dame's profits by using that logo/mascot.

I totally agree but that is the thinking/reasoning behind it.

[quote=Summo;1307242]Do you read your own posts? You clearly stated that the Bulldogs G look like the packers one, that's what I was referring to.[/quote]

Not only do I read them, but I write them too.

I simply pointed out an example of one team using another teams name or image. I said nothing about any legal issues, ramifications, or artistic theft. Totally irrelevant, at least from my laymen's perspective.

OK?

[quote=JackLord;1307207]I actually like Redtails as I have huge respect for the Tuskegee Airmen-I intentionally took my son to an event to meet one of them because I wanted him to see the embodiment of service, courage, and unselfishness, especially under extreme conditions.

I just fear that when we are bad- and history shows we pretty much always will be- then other fans are going to use it against us.[/quote]

to be fair, having Wart in the name wouldn't be any better

Regardless, the opposing team will find a way to make fun.

And I reckon none of them have you admitting you misread something,

Re: Name Reveal 2.2.22
 

Admirals .... assmirals, un admirals, admiral assholes, the urinals

'The Urinals" will be the name other fans will call us imo.

Didn't you bring that up as an example of how it can be done? So why wouldn't legal issues, ramifications, etc be considered?

As explained, that was not my intention. I am not an Intellectual Property Attorney.

Mtk was stating something akin to there already being this or that name in the league. I simply pointed out that lots of different teams have the same name (Eagles for example).

Mentioning the G was just a slightly different observation. Nothing more, nothing less.

Finlay said on Twitter that the name reveal will happen in NYC on the Today show.

Imagine going on the fucking Today show to announce something dumb like Admirals.

There's no way that could happen.

For those who haven't clicked the link, basically there's a convention (actually called the Paris Convention, cocorico !) that allows you to file a trademark in any of 178 countries and still have priority at the first application date if you file in another country within 6 months.
And some of these countries don't allow online search.

So it's a near certainty that somewhere in a tiny unknown country lies the trademark to the next name of this franchise.

Doesn't give us any intel concerning this case, but quite fascinating IMO.

Somewhere on a tiny desk in a trademark office in Papau New Guinea, there lies a trademark application with our new name on it. Nice.
