What's interesting is that is not a Nike shirt, which is technically what Quinn could get in trouble for

I remember when the Cowboys got in trouble with the NFL for Barry Switzer wearing a Nike hat after Jerry made a side deal with Nike to be sponsor of Texas Stadium back before they had an NFL deal. No picture of Barry's Nike swosh cap comes up in a google search, but I did find some archive articles about the Coboys signing their deal before the NFL signed with Nike. The first one is the best because it has notes about other games that week.

Nike deal: The NFL, suing Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones over his deals with Nike and Pepsi, has signed its own five-year licensing deal with the Oregon shoe company, the New York Times reported Monday.

The newspaper said the league’s deal, which comes a month after Jones signed Nike as a Texas Stadium sponsor, is worth an estimated $200 million. Jones, the subject of the NFL’s $300 million federal suit, has an estimated $17.5 million deal with Nike over seven years.

A pic of Switzer's Nike cap would have been great because it was a tall hat that made him look like Elmer Fudd.
