kmccarthy27 Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I am seeing MLB is starting to sell throwback stuff using the Expos logo, who makes money from that? Do the Washington Nationals because they used to be the Expos? Did MLB itself keep the Expos IP when they sold the team to become the Nationals? I know the Texas Rangers get a cut of all the old Senators merchandise, but why not the Twins?Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how it worked out with the Texas Rangers and the Nationals since the Nationals use the old Senators pretzel logo.Also, the Mariners wear and sell old Pilots stuff even though the Pilots are now the Milwaukee Brewers.Must be an MLB owned thing.

Bouj Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Doesn't MLB share revenue on merchandising sold outside of the team stadiums? I don't know if the Nats are selling Expos stuff at home, but if it's beign sold by MLB, then everyone is making money on it.And is the Nats' W exactly identical, or did they put some minor change to a curl into it to claim it's completely different? I remember reading about Clemson adding some minor detail to their tiger paw log that is unique, so if they go after someone for stealing their logo, they know if it's Clemson's logo copied exactly or not by the special mark.

The pro shop also had no sign of anything Expos. Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

This teams records are from Montreal, they were great players who played for this franchise, they deserve to be honored somewhere. Glad the Nats did the right thing by honoring them in the stadium along with the other Senators/Grays players.

Glad the Nats did the right thing by honoring them in the stadium along with the other Senators/Grays players.Remember when it was simple, records simply went with a team. But we've gotten to the point now where teams are moving in to cities that already have established histories with other teams that fans feel are more tied into the new team that the actual team history. The Expos -> Nationals v Nationals/Senators combined history is case and point. The Cleveland Browns and San Jose Earthquakes are the only two teams so far that officially acknowledge this more recent fan/city centric view of history, but it seems to me it's becoming more and more prevalent among cities such as Winnipeg and Washington DC. Generally lately it seems to happen whenever a "new" team, be it a relocated or expansion team, moves into a city where a team existed prior and takes the prior team's name. I mean I imagine the same thing would happen if a new or relocated team moved to Montreal and took up the Expos moniker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmccarthy27 Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Supposedly the Nationals Curly W has the second part of the W is slightly higher than the first part, where the Washington Senators on is flat. Or at least that was the BS they were selling in DC when the team came.Doesn't MLB share revenue on merchandising sold outside of the team stadiums?

DCDuck Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 So how long before Washington National starts wearing expo throwbacks in games Vs the Bluejays in Toronto ?Never. Many Nats fans want nothing to do with the Expos, even if it is just a set of throwback jerseys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
