Come on Texas really!!!

[munsterlander]

If you golf, this course is fun and challenging. i'd stay in Boone,Nc and drive about 20 to 30 miles to play Mtn City cause Boone,Nc is happening on the weekends,craft beers everywhere and bangin food all over the town of Boone,Nc along with the Mast General Store.. And i'm not a townie, i live in Damascus,Va another town you should stay in with the creeper trail and the trout fishing and AT trail coming right through town... biking,hiking,trout fishing don't get NO better...check us out

And Backbone Rock. Lot of fond memories hiking AT from 421 on Holston Mtn and the access trail right down to the rock. Grew up in Bristol.

I think I can tell some difference in the nose area. One is a little more skinny. How long has Johnson County used that logo?

J County should just add bangs to their longhorn logo and say, no, no, these are HIGHLAND cattle, a different breed from texas longhorns.

 

[livefaith]

...and, of course, Duquesne changed all their logos last year.

I mean, seriously, who is going to confuse a high school in Johnson City with a college in Pittsburgh?

SH should have told them to go pi$$ in their hat.

And DUs on-staff law counsel who makes a $90,000 salary would file lawsuit after lawsuit that would cost JC $50,000 in fees. It's the world we live in.

Looks like all they did was make a carbon copy with the only difference being color and the white trim outline. At least tweak the logo a little if you’re going to go by the Longhorns nickname. They were just asking for trouble.

A ton of high schools do that though. I'm not sure why Texas' logo is different.

I know Kell high school in Woodstock,Georgia has longhorns on the sides of their helmets.

The state of Tennessee save you and you do this to a TN high school.

University of Texas asks Johnson County to change longhorn logo

Who (better why) the hell in Tennessee would want to use a "longhorn' as a name/ logo anyway??? Seems there are better things that would be more "local" than a big steer with long horns.

 

[Defcon5]

No.... I hope Texas loses every game

How is Herman doing coaching & recruiting. Oklahoma owns them! Nuff said. Aight!

My kid played there. Never heard from Texas. See more Fl St logos than anything. Think it would be flattering.

I wonder how many high school teams actually ask permission, and how many pro/college teams are actually looking to actively police their trademarks like Texas. Henry County sure looks a lot like New England to me, but I've never seen anything in the news about their branding.

It’s been going on a long time. The New York Times did an article on colleges cracking down on unauthorized use of logos back in 2010.

Until you prevailed on a motion for sanctions, of course. At that point, you’d be cashing checks from PNC to pay for your new field house.

 

[kcvols1]

no. but they should have put up a fight

Agree. No judge in Washington County lets this get to a jury.

And I’m sure the school board pays counsel also. It’s just a matter of whether they’re worth a darn.

 

[allen phillips]

I'm thinking that Mountain City would be more goats than longhorns. There's not a flat place in that entire city.

Especially the golf course.

 

[arkyvol]

Being a lot closer to Texas than I am east Tennessee, I can tell you there is not a more obnoxious, narcissistic, deluded group of a-holes than the University of Texas. Check out the TexAgs old rivalries board. The only thing I wonder is why an obviously more beautiful, livable place would want its high school to emulate those clowns. Why not the mountain goats which would make much more sense and the ram's logo is a helluva lot more attractive.

 

[ntxVOL]

I don't know why anyone would want to use that logo.

As long as they stop using our power T logo. Too close for my liking. . Ours is better of course.

I hope Johnson County loses every game because they wimped out. Screw Texas!!!!

Do these schools have to change also.

You have to consider they could face a herd of high rolling ambulance chasers that could bankrupt them.

Institutions spend millions building the value of their trademarks/brand. If they don’t protect it, it gets diluted, and loses value. And ultimately they can lose the right to protect it. UTex is well within its rights to protect its mark.

If Travis County High School in Texas started selling merchandise with the Power T, I’m sure you would be all in favor of UTenn putting a stop to it.

I like your vivid description of the barristers.

I'm certainly not trademark lawyer (whatever they're called) but am aware that some major companies have people constantly investigating to protect their brand (logo). Disney is one of the worst. I remember a small little BBQ restaurant in Mason Tennessee (I think) that is named Bozo's. Bozo the Clown from Chicago maybe... once filed a trademark infringe case against them IIRC. It's still called Bozo's (I think) so I'm not sure of the lawsuit outcome. Point is some of these entities are dogmatic about their l

I remember the Bozo case, grandson of the owner planned to franchise more Bozo bbq restaurants, they were sued by King Features Syndicate, owners of the rights to Bozo the clown. Lawsuit was settled with the agreement that the original restaurant could continue to operate in Mason with the Bozo name, but no more locations could be opened.

Thanks man. That’s interesting. I love history.

 

[TJVol95]

Hey Texas! Your welcome! You owe us whatever we want!

 

[VOLnMiami]

I guess Notre Dame is going to come after Catholic high now huh?...I remember their uniforms were exact copies of Notre Dames back in the day...Not sure if they changed them since I moved away or not to be honest.

There are at least 2 schools here in my area that have the Power T on their helmets and 2 of my nephews in another state that played at a high schools that have the Power T on their helmets. None of these are orange but are a carbon copy of UT's Power T.
