N/S Houston Cougars DEFY the NFL over use of team colors (very short clip) (1 Viewer)

I say “Good for them” in standing up to the “No Fun League!”

Bud Adams died more than a decade ago and still that franchise insists on giving Houston the middle finger at every turn. Pathetic.

 

[Saint Jack]

The Texans really should have challenged to get the Oilers name when they were granted the franchise.

Hmmm Louisiana Tech been wearing that blue forever. It is a color teams use. Of course, they don't say Houston on them either. In fact, I wish Tech would go back to it completely. Bunch of old guys that think its a "girl color" preventing that from happening. I'm sorry -- these unis are better than any of the Reflex blue versions.

Typical bully the NFL is. Act tough until someone punches them in the mouth. They should have learned a lesson from the beating they took from Fleurty Girl, but apparently not.

Good for UH.

NFL needs to worry less about this Houston jersey stuff and more about my $2500 check

It’s not a direct comparison.
The Fleur De Lis is a symbol that is used outside of a football team.

I worked a regional high school sports job for a while and it always cracked me up how many schools would blatantly rip off an NFL teams logo. Patriots was a very common one for some reason. I'm kinda shocked those C&D letters don't go out more often.

On the flip side, a fair number of schools do have awesome names inspired by regional history or whimsical leadership, and we'd enjoy those projects a lot more.

Oh I love how my alma mater is giving the NFL the middle finger

The NFL doesn’t pursue them because their last statement about the issue was that it didn’t matter to them. And they shouldn’t want the bad PR of suing a high school.

Wisconsin pursued The Woodlands HS down in Texas about their use of the W logo back in 2007. That’s the last action of this sort that I can recall.

Ole Miss has adopted Tar Heel blue as an alternative uni. And Kiffen is just the jack *** to tweak them one game to look even more like the Oilers. The NFL is in a lose lose if they don’t let this go.

The NFL: We Care watch how our players help students in schools

Also The NFL: Hey Stop wearing jerseys from 1982 or we going to sue for the money you can be using to help students in schools

When the NFL can say they own a color, things have gone off the rails

 

[St. Pike]

That color combo is the same as Rummel, right?

I didn't know you could trademark a color combo.

Delta Playground in Metairie used to use NFL logos and colors for their youth teams (7-8 and 9-10s).

Yeah my HS blatantly ripped off the Patriots helmet logo, but didn't use the name "Patriots". I guess they figured because a high school football team isn't for profit they would get a pass.
