KCScout76 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 David vs. Golaith - Notre Dame wants Chapman High School (Kansas) to stop using their "fight irish" leprechaun. They can keep the name, but must change the logo.The article is from this Fall 2011 but I just ran across this article. Click here to read the article.Wisconsin has been the a leader in the area, but lots of Universities/Colleges have been protecting their "brand" as well they should.Kansas State at least lets high schools "rent" their logo. Many of the Wildcat schools here in Kansas & Missouri pay $1.00 to use it for the year.Here is the video from the local new station: click here Kansas City Scouts (CHL) Orr Cup Champions 2010, 2019, 2021 St. Joseph Pony Express (ULL) 2023 Champions Kansas City Cattle (CL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aci Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 K-State has the right idea... as long as the school isn't pumping out merchandise and trying to turn a profit, why not let them have it? If you license it to them, you still protect your trademark rights and you don't seem like a bunch of jerks.

Gothamite Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nothing jerky about wanting the exclusive use of property you own. Schools pay money for these logos, why the hell should they let high schools dilute their brand? The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

KCScout76 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 I also know that Springfield (MO) Catholic High School use the fighting irish logo. I wonder if they will get to use it since they are a catholic school. Their logo is a bit different but very simular. They also use the Southern California "SC" - oh boy, they're in trouble now!

crashcarson15 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 They took it away from the big Catholic school here, Cathedral.If colleges become aware of these things and do nothing, anyone can conceivably reproduce things with the logo on it... correct? You do have to protect your copyrights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you get the perks of getting your school promoted by usage of a H.S. using your logo - like a commercial.

KCScout76 Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Here's the helmet they use for football. As part of a coaching staff that played against Springfield Catholic in the Missouri 1997 football playoffs, they defeated us and went undefeated as they won the 2A state title.

Gothamite Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Some "perk", considering that most of these schools recolor or tweak the logo. It's not an ad, it's a way to confuse the casual customer. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
