Chawls Posted June 3, 2011 Author Share Posted June 3, 2011 Who owns the XFL logos now?The trademark protection for the Birmingham Bolts logo that featured a stylized depiction of the "Birmingham Bolts" word-mark surrounded by six radiating lightning bolts is currently owned by Richard Shea III. He is listed as using it in connection with the promotion of "entertainment in the nature of softball games". He had previously held the trademark rights to the Bolts logo that featured a stylized "B" surrounded by six radiating lightning bolts, doing so from June of 2007 until January of 2008. As for the remaining XFL team logos, trademark protection for all of them was abandoned on various dates between May 13, 2001 and November 8, 2001. They are all listed as DEAD in the USPTO on-line database.Interestingly enough, the trademark rights to the wordmark XFL are listed as LIVE at the USPTO on-line database. Said trademark was filed on February 2, 2009 and published for opposition on June 9, 2009. The owner? XFL, LLC, with a listed address at 1241 East Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut... the same address as World Wrestling Entertainment.So (hypothetically) I can use that demon logo for whatever I want without risk of getting sued?

winghaz Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I'm extremely partial to the Minnesota North Stars' logo, and I also loved the NHL Colorado Rockies' logo. Both were very good.Too bad that jerk Norm Greene kept the name Stars when he moved the North Stars to Dallas. He could have renamed them the Lone Stars and then Minnesota could have had the North Stars instead of Wild when the NHL returned to the North Star State.

He could have renamed them the Lone Stars and then Minnesota could have had the North Stars instead of Wild when the NHL returned to the North Star State.Teams with similar names worked in the era of black and white tv and segregation because branding wasn't all that important. No way was it going to fly in the late 20th/early 21st century. The North Stars are now the Stars and all the North Stars history and logos belong to Dallas. The name Wild does suck, but at least the logo is ten kinds of awesome, so quit complaining.

It's so simple but something about it just appeals to me. And it worked beautifully on a helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksupilot Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Most of the RHI logos were hideous. But I thought the Rockin Rollers were creative. Could just be that I remember going to a Rockin Rollers game when I was a kid.It's Jon Stewart with Silvio Dante's hair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also beat a team comprised of Godzilla, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln, 2 Power Rangers and Betty White. Oh, and they played in the middle of Iraq on a military base. In the sand. With no ice. Santa gave them special sand-skates that allowed them to play in shorts and t-shirts in 115 degree weather. Jesus, Zeus and Buddha watched from the sidelines and ate cotton candy.
