The Biggest Loser" needs to drop more than weight ... its new logo is a total rip-off, according to a new lawsuit filed by former NFL lineman LeCharles Bentley.
Earlier this year, the NBC show decided to drop its original tape measure logo for a new stylized "BL." Bentley, a former Pro-Bowler, says 'Loser' screwed up because he trademarked a very similar logo in 2013 for his O-Line Performance company.
Bentley says he sent a cease and desist letter, which was ignored ... so now he's suing NBC Universal and the producers for trademark infringement. He wants the logo changed, and a cut of the revenue 'Loser' made while using the new one.
Luckily for all involved, this will be handled by lawyers -- LeCharles goes 6'2", 300-plus pounds.

Seems he is looking for a quick paycheck. Seems like more of a nuisance suit just to get paid to go away. The logo is not really that close and they are not in the same market as to create any confusion to a consumer. What a waste of time and money.
