Thanks for digging on this, Mark. Would hope that someone who founded a trademark law firm would be a little more accurate about trademark info they Tweet out.
For one, they seemed to assume that this was a new trademark? (I think?) and it’s not. The league just re-upped it again. Someone is making news out of nothing.

Second, yesterday Michael McCann of Sportico wrote an article that accused the league of abusing the trademark registration system. https://www.sportico.com/law/analysis/2 ... 234622857/

This seems like a reach to me. Another “nothing burger.”

I can tell you the league is not happy about any of this.

Good work, Mark. Definitely an example of lazy reporting on the part of Gerben and others.

We just need a real news cocktail to wash down this nothing burger. :D

That being said. Have players real names on the Jersey.

Just my opinion Dwayne. 😜
I agree, but I’ll never underestimate what the new owners have planned. Could be surprises.
Well it is a year away. Hopefully with the masks gone and life normal, it will have the fun sportsmanship tone to it that Rod Smart had. Hope they throw him a few bucks for it too.
