I used to really relish in the fact that Florida State never really got into all this kind of stuff (save for the Unconquered alts, which even Bobby Bowden conceded was just because Nike wanted Florida State to have an all-black uniform) but I get it, alt combos have been a thing for a hot minute now so whateva. That said, I'd probably tolerate the white helmets more if they swapped put the white for gold on that spear decal... I agree with you. Gold and garnet decals would do wonders for that helmet. And even then, it should only be worn on the road. Florida State can keep their garnet and white pants and mix and match home and away. They can even do black once a year or so. But the moment they started mixing the white helmet with the garnet jersey, it looked horrible. When you have a helmet so iconic as the gold, it should be worn most of the time. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousG Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 This may seem extreme but it should be illegal for UCLA to use any number font other than Clarendon. I would also extend this to Kansas and their old arc-serif font. Trajan sucks, always and forever. 6 1 My teamsNCAA: Washington StateMLB: Seattle MarinersNFL: Seattle SeahawksNBA: Portland TrailblazersEPL: Liverpool FCMLS: Seattle Sounders FCNHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The helmets didn’t have the Pac-12 logo, either: Of course the Jumpman logo was still on there, but it would’ve been nice if they matched the color of the jersey and pants to add to the throwback appearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studying in college is an exciting yet challenging experience. I've always been fascinated by geology and mineralogy, but the subject's intricacies can be quite overwhelming. Understanding the properties and formation of rocks and minerals requires comprehensive resources. To improve my grades and make studying more engaging, I've found StoryboardThat's Rocks and Minerals Worksheets to be a fantastic aid. These worksheets provide detailed insights, making it easier to comprehend the complex world of geology and mineralogy. If you're facing similar challenges or just want to explore this subject further, you should definitely see details provided in these worksheets. Studying is all about finding the right tools to make the journey smoother, and these resources have been a valuable addition to my college experience. It's not uncommon for sports leagues to have strict rules and regulations regarding team uniforms and alternate jerseys. These rules are often in place to maintain brand consistency, prevent confusion among fans, and protect the intellectual property of both the league and individual teams. The issue of uniform regulations can be a subject of debate among fans and even teams, especially when they want to use alternate jerseys with unique designs or color schemes. In such cases, the league's decisions can be viewed as overly restrictive or even arbitrary. Ultimately, it comes down to a balance between the league's desire for brand consistency and the individuality and creativity of teams and their fans. In situations like this, where fans or teams disagree with the league's decisions, it's not uncommon to see discussions and debates about what should be allowed. Fans who are passionate about their team's alternate jerseys might express their dissatisfaction, but the league's decisions are typically made with various considerations in mind, including licensing, brand consistency, and potential confusion. While fans may not always agree with these decisions, they are a part of maintaining the overall image and identity of the league.

Burmy Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 I don't claim to be a legal expert, but here's how I see the case turning out: Judge: The plaintiff should know that color schemes are in the public domain. Can you demonstrate a case of the defendant using NFL trademarked images, such as the oil derrick logo? NFL: No, but- Judge: And by bringing up a case against Houston's college team and no others, you are acknowledging that said color scheme's heritage belongs to Houston, right? NFL: Well, Your Hon- Judge: CASE DISMISSED. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem here is that the Oilers uniform itself is trademarked, as in the colors and striping patterns. The other teams wore NFL based uniforms, but in their school colors (and I am pretty sure Arkansas got permission from Dallas and/or NFL, if I remember correctly). The Rockets don't play football, so it would be harder for the NFL to claim infringement on the grounds that a basketball uniform would create confusion with a football uniform. Ultimately, they have to be very harsh when it comes to infringement as apart of keeping trademark and copyright is continuous defense of those properties, similar to how the NFL and college teams have been cracking down on high schools using recolored logos more recently.

Uniforms cannot be copyrighted or trademarked. Colors cannot be trademarked either, though Nike's been trying to create a version of kelly green that is theirs alone to control. If that were the case there are a lot of schools in Ohio that would have to change their uniforms because they look too much like the Browns. Based on the two jerseys being worn, you can't even say they are the same design. The only things that are the same are the closeness of the colors and the template used. The two blues are not even a match as you can see by looking at the helmet stripes. And the pants are obviously not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
