TCU Shirt

only to turn around and try and press charges against those who created it.

Can you say, copywrite infringement?

This tee is bad, but I have seen worse. Haven't seen many football uniforms worse than the Froggies outfits, though.

"The UT Board of Regents filed a formal legal complaint against College Station-based Aggieland Outfitters and its parent company, Kalcorp Enterprises, for manipulating the UT longhorn silhouette on the products.

Defendants' unauthorized use of UT Marks complained herein is likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive customers," wrote Louis T. Pirkey, an attorney representing the Board of Regents, in the complaint."

Yes copyright infringement, but complaining that it would cause confusion. For me, that makes it quite funny.

If UT was smart, they themselves would copyright the "sawed off" horns logo and charge people like a$m a licensing fee to use the image. This way they'd get the last laugh, and could reap $$ from those who despise them most.

Worked well for Brian Bosworth, who reportedly made millions from anti-Boz shirts because he had the rights to them.

Just what I was thinking. Never understood the racing stripes in his hair, but he was a seriously smart marketer. All his odd behavior at OU made people think he was an NFL-worthy player, and he sold hundreds of thousands of those anti-Boz shirts in the Denver area. Got to give him credit.

His MacArthur HS education was second to none. I hear he was a complete nerd in HS. Funny how his image changed.

MacArthur? I thought he was a Nimitz guy....

I thought it was even more [deleted] until I checked the schedule and saw that they actually play UT next year.

Still [deleted], but not as much as I initially thought.......

The last time a team put the Longhorn on their shirt with broken horns, UT actually thought it was a shirt them and started buying them...only to turn around and try and press charges against those who created it.

Wow, there's a spin on that story I've never heard before. Gawd bless the interweb.

Union Pacific Railroad sued all the model train manufacturers for trademark infringement stating the the use of their logo on these toy trains constituted infringement and could cause confusion in the marketplace. Remember Lionel has been using these logos for 100 years. Lionel and others responded by pulling all the toys with UP logos off their shelves and UP settled for a token manufacturing agreement with all the manufacturers costing about $25 per year or something like that. UP discovered that model/toy trains were some of their best advertising which cost them nothing. Another lesson in some corporate idiot saying, "hey we should be paid a license fee by these toy companies". When in fact these toys that are out there on model layouts are free advertising for their railroad all over the country.
