"too close" does not equal "derivative" 7 It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention very similar face shading. I'm never a fan of the NFL copywrite claiming smaller leagues on such small matters like these, but this instance in particular was a bit more justified. The more you look at each logos defining features, the more and more similar the two logos become. I can see why the NFL thought they were similar, but filing a copywriter claim after the league had already died (plus the logo was never really used to begin with) is just a jerk move. 3 Perrin Grubb | Aspiring Designer | NAFA Project ~ NFL Redesigns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerk move or not, the NFL does have a very important interest in protecting their trademarks. It's the same thing as the Roughnecks' derrick logo, if the NFL wants to protect its trademark for certain logos (the most successful modern team and an incredibly popular throwback team) then they have to go after every logo that looks even somewhat similar. I hate the NFL's business practices as much as the next guy but they are in the right to do this, in fact, they pretty much have to do this so that the trademark stays. 11 1 the user formerly known as cdclt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they applied the copyright far before the league died, it just didn’t get to the point of lawsuit and court filing until after it died 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 And it is never a "jerk move" to defend your copyright. Even if they had waited until the league folded, so what? Somebody could have bought the league's assets out of bankruptcy and used them. And the NFL might not be able to do anything at that point, having failed to take action earlier. 15 The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

I don't think there's anything to it, especially since the Rams design team was very upfront about their desire to take the branding to a digital space (see my interview following the unveiling). It's very similar to ESPN's three-dimensional team logos that you'll see during game broadcasts (particularly in the NBA). 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand (and even at the time understood) what they were trying to do in preserving "color continuity" with Rocky the Red Ranger still being the "group of 5" leader (see what I did there?), but it never worked on any level. By the time of Zeo, Rocky finally settled into his own, had some of the best focus episodes, and looking back was arguably the most well-rounded character of the five. But weren't we talking about NFL changes and not Ranger color changes in here?? Was Billy explicitly Jewish, or was he just a nebbishy intellectual? Because the Red Ranger was ambiguously Latino/indigenous, the Yellow Ranger was Asian, the Black Ranger was black, so I always figured blue had to correspond with the Israeli flag, I mean, had to mean something. It was a Haim Saban production. 1 ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sure is a weird helmet, but it sure looks like there's some guy behind him that's having an intense religious/edibles experience. 9 Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.
