You'd be surprised how many marks from days gone by are still not just owned but actively protected by the successor entities. MLB protects all of them (or at least did when I worked on that stuff a couple decades ago)--Brooklyn Dodgers, Boston Braves, all of them.

Dave Smith’s unis with silver helmets, gray pants, and red jerseys were Ohio State inspired. Iowa and Hayden Fry stole the Steeler unis. Our Dallas unis remind you of the Cowboys.
