Mississippi High Schools using SMU logo...

Postby RebStang » Thu Aug 20, 2015 8:55 pm

I was looking at a site that shows the helmets of a lot of Mississippi high school football teams and noticed a couple that stood out...

Strayhorn Mustangs
(Sarah)

Image
West Jones Mustangs
(Laurel)

Image
McLain Mustangs
(Lexington)

Image
Center Hill Mustangs
(Olive Branch)

Anyone know if we get paid a royalty for letting these schools use our logo or if it's just a good will thing that keeps schools from suing high schools for using their logos?

Sue them like we did the Houston school. That publicity turned out well.

I heard Trump has promised to make all those schools pay $10,000 per year to use it, and they will do so willingly

At 10,000 per team we are about to have some decent income coming in.

mrydel has one on the back of his truck and I know for a fact he doesn't pay royalties! It is exactly like the mustang on our helmets during the Bennett (Old Miss) era on the Hilltop.

Those uniforms bothered me. Never could figure out why we decided to just completely change our colors during that period.

Why did we let the former coach who shall remain nameless change colors?

Yes, head to toe Pony Express era style. I live by Pierce and am constantly asked if my Pony apparel is Pierce related. To which I respond - no, it is for the greatest university in the world!
