Home of the original Mean Green should be wordmarked ASAP.  We've done a fair job of trademarking indicia, but we need to do the wordmark registration to protect Mean Green.  Of course, we have lots of video and newspaper proof of your starting to use Mean Green as far back as the late 60's.  Big programs and big communications companies won't think twice about poaching Mean Green if it serves their interests.

disagree vehemently.  Acknowledging that others try to use the term with anything other than a cease and desist is not the route to take.  It's a trademarked term. If they want the Long D of Daddy Justice then continue trying to use it.

I am advocating the additional word mark Home of the original Mean Green, just as Coca-Cola word marks its slogans (i.e.for all you do this Coke's for you, etc.) in addition to the obvious trademarking of their logos.

Made me think of...

I don’t think they plan to change their name from Trojans to Mean Green. They just forgot we existed. But is this what we want North Texas to become? 

Trojans?  Spartans.   It was probably a simple mistake made by an ESPN intern who didn't realize it was a protected trademark.  However, we still have to defend it legally.

This is how our brand can die. We are the only Mean Green and allowing others to take the name whenever they want, that will lose us our individuality. If MSU likes it, why wouldn't they start selling it on shirts? Where does it end? Also, the typical college football fan then says that we stole their name not knowing the true history. This is absolutely the time to stop them.

Also... I mean... if Wren really did drop a People’s Elbow... Wouldn’t we all be pissed at yet another missed opportunity to reach out to a wealthy alum with a nice ( and vastly more effective)  Stone Cold Stunner??

 

we need to expect more from this AD.

You could even say Portland St hit us with the ferocious Rock Bottom in 2015....

No, this was not a simple mistake, and it's not the first time.  I remember hearing something about MSU trying to use "Mean Green" before, probably last season.

      A-Scott Projected to OU

      St. Johns is one of the great sleeping giant jobs in the nation. They have a fantastic basketball history (they haven't been that great for the last generation or so, but the Johnies do have a helluva tradition) going back about 80 years and they play in NYC at MSG.

      If…..

      Recent Past With all the excitement over Tylor Perry we quickly forgot about the best player from our recent past. The stats and awards bear it out. In my mind the answer is Javion Hamlet. No other player has accomplished what he has. https://meangreensports.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/javion-hamlet/4731 Imagine what he would have accomplished if the 2020 NCAA Tournament had not been cancelled. We won the Conference in 2020 and arguably that was the best team we have ever had.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      A majority of schools could just vote to dissolve the ACC. There would be a court fight, but eventually schools that want out will be released with some greatly reduced financial penalty. It's like a divorce, you can't keep someone in an unhappy relationship, even with a contract. It will happen probably before the end of next year at the pace things are moving.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC has a media rights deal that runs through 2036 with massive financial penalties to leave. ACC schools make more money per school than the Big 12. The PAC had no media deal and zero financial penalty to leave the conference. The two situations couldn't be more different. ACC schools do not want to associate themselves with the likes of WVU, Cincy, UCF, Texas Tech, OK State and the other Truck Stoppers.

      Judge orders Florida State, ACC to mediation to settle suit

      The ACC will be picked apart just like the PAC was. Big12 will help in the raiding, just as they did with the PAC.
