Youth baseball organization in Louisiana. Surely, our beloved logo has a trademark. WTF!!!

As much as I love the "U". I always thought it was strange to identify with the University part of the name rather than the Miami part of the name.

It's just weird. I mean they are basically all Universities.

I am a heretic, I know.

I saw it. Thats just ******* pathetic. Someone here with contacts to the universuty should inform them immediately.

Haha. Universities and pro teams typically never go after youth leagues or even high schools that "borrow" their logos.

They at least made somewhat of an effort. The other is the straight up exact same with different colors.

Bruh that was Schnelly.... He said at the time he was trying to come up with a logo they did not want a big "M" because Michigan was already a powerhouse and had the "M" but no one had a "U" clearly the marketing paid off as no one else calls themselves "The U" even though 90% of colleges have "University" in their name.

Lmao there’s probably 4 or 5 high schools in Florida alone that use the U

A high school here in the upstate of SC tried to do the same thing a couple of years ago. ( Dorman High School ). Miami put a stop to it.

University HS in Orlando looks exactly alike....

I did notice that the Urbandale logo had the small TM under the logo.
Someone should give notice to Urbandale to follow the link probided.

Kindly exit left and never return.

Actually the U is trademarked and they do protect it. The Union school district in Tulsa pays like $40k per year for the use of the logo.
However I know Union 32 high school in Vermont uses the U and doesn’t pay anything. And it’s a carbon copy of the U. Just gray and blue.

That is a different U. Different thickness on the bottom, colors, and break area. I am no lawyer but I think it is probably fine.

For comparison. A ton of schools and organizations use a letter as their logo.

My nephews little league football team a few years ago was the hurricanes… lol pretty easy to show up in gear to support him that year

Half of the high schools in my area have something stolen from a college. This isn't news. In fact the University of Kansas tried to take one to court a long time ago for stealing their nickname, colors, and logo (which they did) and lost anyway. The school still uses it all

There is a high school up here in Maryland by the name of Urbana, and they have the U as there symbol, it’s plain white though.
