The U logo

Advertisement
It’s extremely common for high schools to utilize the logo of higher level programs/teams.

I mean the UGA and Green Bay G are everywhere.

My high school in Atlanta used the exact logo for fsu (which sucks I know). I believe whoever opened the school had some connection. They actually contacted the the school while I was there about changing it and they said no. Still the same all these years later.

So yea.. F*** fsu.
 
Yes, the key is licensing. As long as there is an agreement and even a MODEST payment, then our copyrights and trademarks are protected. If you don't take action to defend and license these things, then you lose them.

Was having an interesting conversation with some folks this weekend, apparently "Vintage" brand products have bought up a bunch of lapsed/undefended trademarks and copyrights. Including...Sebastian with a corncob pipe...

A few years back, Miami caught some flak because we had to contact Umatilla (Florida) high school about their use of the split-U. Everything is fine now, but initially Umatilla got the notification letter and tried to humiliate UM for being such a big bad bully.
 
There’s a Union HS in SWVA that has a similar logo. It’s a fairly new school of several rural schools combined and their “U” isn’t spilt though and their colors are blue and orange - different shades than the gator.

It's not just high school teams who do it. UGA is a good example of a college program ripping off a pro team logo, Green Bay. It's lame for high school programs to do it, it's embarrassing to see college programs do it.
