Why would the USPO approve this?!? Seriously?
Because people are asshats and either thrive on stupid or 15 minutes of fame being the one/ones who approved something ridiculous.

The is the most commonly used word in the English language. You shouldn't be allowed to trademark anything like that. Period. I would PURPOSELY use it on clothes and fight it in court to be a prick.

My first shirt - THE U
My second shirt - THE F U
 
They have a trademark on diddling wrestlers as well.

Football players as well, right Herbie?

Funny how ESPN swept that one under the rug even as Ohio State's administration was settling for $41M

are they gonna try and sue everyone that says “The U” or any adidas shirt that prints it?

Ummm, so about this lame-*** trademark ... 😏 🥱

“The U” is the University of Miami, which burst onto the national scene in the mid-1980s and was one of college football’s most dominant programs for the next decade. The “U” comes from the school’s logo -- the distinct orange and green split-U that was adopted in 1973. But the attitude did not emerge until a few years later, during an unprecedented run of winning and recruiting at a school that had spent decades as an also-ran in talent-rich Florida."

While the school was renamed to "The Ohio State University" in 1878 it wasn't until 1986 that the nickname became known by the masses. In 1986 the school rebranded itself by making a change to its logo. The motivation behind the new logo was for the school to shed the nickname of OSU. Obviously, there are other OSUs out there (Oklahoma State and Oregon State) and university officials wanted to avoid confusion."

LOL. Man you people are straight up stupid.

It’s the pictograph that’s trademarked, not the word “the.” Dumbasses. AND It’s only trademarked for use on tshirts and hats sold at stores that specialize in selling college sports apparel. All of that you could get by reading the OP and asking some basic common sense questions. Bunch of geniuses up in here lol.

Never change, CIS.

Oh, and **** Ohio State in THE ***.
