burgundy Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 So, just because it's a green spartan helmet that makes it a rip-off? It's style and presentation are completely different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CAB Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 yeah its not even close. Though i do like it better than the MSU spartan logo.What! All they did was turn the face forward and redo some minor details.Yeah, that's all they did. Which is actually a huge difference. In no way did they rip of the MSU logo.

All they did was turn the face forward and redo some minor details.Which MSU logo are you comparing this to? A lot of teams named Spartans have the same general design to the helmet.

zmspartans Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Ya this isn't ripping off MSU, it's a different logo. There are a lot of "Spartan" teams with logos along these lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ItzJamesFTW Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Yeah, I live in La Crosse and work for a TV station there, and this in no way is ripping off the MSU logo, its structurly different, facing a different direction, and has a tear on the front of it. Just because its the Spartans and is green, doesn't mean its a rip off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illwauk Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 La Crosse, and the western part of Wisconsin is actually a pretty nice area that's known for its bluffs and bike trails... and the biggest one is called the Elroy-Sparta trail. Maybe that played a role in calling the team the Spartans?Central Wisconsin on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
