DrBear Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 The Buffalo team in the ABA has new owners (there's a surprise) who have promised to keep the team in the same gym for a whole season.

DrBear Posted May 11, 2008 Author Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well, they did say in the article the owners had a promotional deal with a company for the name, it fell through but they kept the name...that could have been the tie in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arts11 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 it looks like the only reason why they chose the Sharks name was b/c they found a logo they could use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfoster Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Well, they did say in the article the owners had a promotional deal with a company for the name, it fell through but they kept the name...that could have been the tie in.Okay, so even though there's no deal they kept a logo that is essentially still promoting the product? Lucky break for the company. They still get some exposure and don't have to pay a thing. Conversely, they should sue the team to protect their mark.

kmw_29 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 An hour down the road, Rochester already has an ABA team (I think it's in the ABA), the Rochester Razorsharks.
