BlueSky Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Why not post a sign that says "vandalize me" ? That's what'll happen at some point.Years ago a magazine ran an article about rabid college football fans. One pic with the article showed a guy standing in the doorway of his home. The carpet was Oklahoma crimson and a 3-foot-high OU logo was sewn into the carpet. That's not being a fan, that's needing therapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meetthemets Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I don't see what the big deal is. A company makes a product with a college logo and someone buys it. The school licenses the company to put their logo on a product so they are not doing it illegaly. What's the big deal? The comany has a right to make money. The demand is obviously there.

Gothamite Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 While goofy, I don't think this is really an example of "logo creep."Logo creep, as Paul Lukas uses it, means manufacturer logos "creeping" into uniforms.
