Rummel had very similar jerseys when I was there. They gonna sue them too?


Not sure if still the case but when I was in HS, we just paid like a dollar or a ceremonial yearly fee to the college we used as a logo, so they could enforce the trademark elsewhere still without needing to be a Dbag to high school coaches/players

In this case the NFL sees real dollars funneling into Houston and want a piece of the pie. Really silly and I feel like a total loser of a case outside of just legal / financial pressure that the league can put on. No chance that would cause consumer confusion or negatively impact the brand of the “Oilers” which isn’t even the active main brand of the organization.

If anything the Tennessee oilers existing is causing the consumer confusion
