MJWalker45 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Definitely the same logo. They just switched the head around and took an interior stripe off the nose. Wordmark is different but if you covered up the words and said what school owns these logos I'd say Boise State Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hmm, it says the heads are facing different ways but the one on here is the facing the same way as the infringer:Anyone know why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiodrama Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hmm, it says the heads are facing different ways but the one on here is the facing the same way as the infringer:Anyone know why that is?I'd guess it's probably just an inverted version the school uses as an alternate. Perhaps for either side of the football helmet?Edit: Here's what I mean... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbreadmann Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Oh yeah, good point... I forgot they used that on the helmet.Anyway, I was able to edit the bronco head to a 99% accurate replica of the Kamloops logo in less than 2 minutes, so I think it's definitely a copy. and now that "facing different ways" argument has no merit, seeing as they have two versions.

Joely Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Don't high school's and that nick logos all the time from major league and college teams? Do they usually ask permission or is this no different? I can't see a problem if the precedent is already set as they are a non-profit organisation...

alex20 Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 My Junior High and a neighboring High School used the Philly Eagles logo. Anyone in Canada probably thinks they can get away with stealing an NCAA or NFL logo because there is far less attention payed to high school athletics here. Same would probably go with this Kamloops team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maz Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Happens all the time.Local high school here, Plum, copys the Denver Broncos logo exactly, just different colors.Another one, Gateway, uses the Green Bay Packers "G" logo. (or that being clutched by a gator)Another one, Woodland Hills, cops Michigan's (well, Princeton's) helmets.My high school cops FSU's helmets and colors exactly (while every other team for that school uses different shades and original logos. [the school's indian head in a circle its had forever, or an interlocked block "PH"] - go figure).Heck, Pittsburgh Central Catholic, the Notre Dame of Pittsburgh, either hated dearly or loved dearly, cops the Minnesota Vikings' Helmet and Logo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powersurge Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Its pretty damn obvious that the Kamloops club completely bit off of BSU. The uniforms are obvious duplicates of previous duds worn by BSU. The logo on Kamloops' helmet is one of the secondary BSU logos. Its pretty obvious IMO. They just played with the colors. I do have to say that I think I like the logo Kamloops used on their helmets. Makes me think that maybe BSU should have used that logo instead of the one with the wordmark.So I give them jeers for copying, but cheers for actually making it better.

pcgd Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Once again guys...If Boise State doesn't pursue protecting its Trademark they lose their Trademark.Its as much the owner of the Trademark's responsibility to protect their logo as it is for people to stop ripping off logos.They HAVE to send C&D letters or pursue legal action to offending teams and organizations or they risk the lose of their trademark.
