My high school baseball team has been using the Detroit Tigers logo for as long as I can remember. The basketball team uses Auburn's eyes logo as well.
I don't think they're big enough for them to really care though

Florida And FSU have made a few schools stop using it. They usually give them a few years to make it happen.

My high school is the griffin bears. Same logo as green bay.


You could accuse Grambling of stealing that logo but you might get called racist

Catholic high-br and carencro both use the Chicago bears "C" on their helmets. I don't think it's against any rules

A couple of schools on the coast do it.

Gulfport uses the Green Bay/Georgia/Grambling "G".

Pass Christian uses the Tampa Bay Bucaneers'.

Mcneese got sued by Wyoming a few years ago. We had to change our logo then.

I think schools are just lazy...you can pay someone to come up with an original logo.

You wouldn't even have to pay anyone with the wealth of free material online and ease of making custom logos and gear. Anyone with any creativity at all could come up with something better than just slapping someone else's logo on a helmet.

An article from a couple of years back LINK

Essentially it appears the NFL doesn't care, some colleges do care, and some don't.

KSU was sort of interesting, they let schools use their logo for $1 for 2 year time periods, but if schools sell items with the logo on it, they have to use one of the approved apparel makers who pay 10% to KSU. Also you can't use the logo in KU colors.
