I'm no expert, but it seems like trademark applications can take a long time to process, and in most cases it's either a formality or creates obstacles that can easily be overcome, which seems to be the case here. If you continue following that tweet thread, the author says these trademark rejections aren't likely to become major obstacles for the team. I know I shouldn't... but there's something I like about Washington Space Commanders 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I retained a trademark attorney earlier this year to begin the process and he told me it now takes 18 months from filing date. Gotta love the efficiency of the federal government. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManillaToad Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'd be fine with either one winning. I'd probably vote for the one on the left though 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going with the left. I like the hidden details on the right but I think some get lost in smaller applications. Both are strong though. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glover Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Prefer the one on the left, but I can live with either. I am just so happy the Tick Tock one isn't going to win. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsFan12 Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I wish teams would do polls like that with uniform designs since fans are capable of designing better concepts than Nike 90% of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess playing soccer for 20 years I'm of the opposite opinion as Flowers and Anderson. Trying to save my legs from rug burn and goatheads means I'm wearing my socks as high as I can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Given how bad some of these new NFL uniforms look with stripeless pants and same color socks, I'm starting to come around on the idea that college football is right and letting legs show isn't so bad. I think I might actually agree with Will Anderson here. I prefer this: To this: 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back, it was unveiled in an era of relative design restraint, right before Reebok got high on piping and side panels. I think about the Eagles and Patriots redesigns at the tail end of the '90s as being in a similar class: lacking in gimmick, simple in execution, not flashy, but following much of the traits of traditional football uniforms with small touches of panache. The big difference is that the Eagles and Patriots actually won things in their boring uniforms. Save for the heroics of JJ Watt, there's almost nothing memorable about the 20-year history of the Texans other than the fact that they have nice, but boring uniforms. Is that a case for changing it up? I'd argue that it can't hurt. We've seen teams change their look for worse reasons. Nailed it. If the Texans won anything beyond division titles in their entire existence then the uniforms would be classics that shouldnt be touched. Instead they get called boring as they represent a boring franchise. Maybe some day they'll accomplish something beyond a divisional round playoff exit. But until then, they are just a schedule filler for a national NFL audience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
