Because it is a recognizable nickname, "Honey Badger" is considered a likeness of Tyrann Mathieu under NCAA regulations.

hmmmmm....you really need an intellectual property lawyer, but looking at the banned stuff, if you simply have a shirt that says "honey badger don't care"...they can't do anything...

no, but Randall (the creator of the original video) may have a claim.

No doubt, that's part of it.

However, in fairness, it's as much of an NCAA issue as anything.

Surely someone on the rant is an attorney and could say for sure, no?

I don't support these hooligans by only buying officially licensed LSU merchandise

Sounds like the who owns "WHO DAT" argument to me...LSU and Mathieu don't "own" Honey Badger. "Honey Badger" is for the people.

Individuals cannot sell merchandise, but the school can sell jerseys with players numbers and names?

I am so confused. I call bull shite too!

This is simple. Do not use his name, initials, #7 or LSU, and you'll be fine.

Organizations get jealous when a recognizable brand materializes out of thin air and cuts into their profits.

"Who Dat?" fits into this same category.

You can print all of the "Honey Badger" products and apparel that you care to produce.

However, you CANNOT print "Honey Badger" products that include LSU or LSU player items:

1. the number 7
2. TM7 (or any other likeness)
3. the name of an LSU player
4. the image of an LSU player
5. LSU
