The end of the twelves

[DTexHawk]

Unrelated: Have we talked about how the "W" in the .net logo above looks like a terrifying vagina with an eye peering out of it? Am I just a total perv? Once you see it you can't unsee it.

Not sure which way to take this.

Laugh at you as a 9'er fan that's "terrified" of vagina's, or


Call you a fraud, because no male 9'er fan would know what a vagina looks like.

Hey Popeye....it's actually a Poopeye.

With regards to just switching to "twelves", "12th fan", etc., etc., these types of variation are protected under trademark law, and are generally a no go (e.g. the joke of the golden arches of "McDowell's" in COMING TO AMERICA -- it's a joke because in the real world it would be a clear infringement on McDonalds' trademark.

Wow, now that kind of sucks. So we can't use 12s or 12th Fan ?

Maybe Paul Allen should refuse the use of microsoft products Texas A&M....

Popeye brings up some good points. Also the fact that we have financially negotiated with Texas A&M affirms their claim to the trademark and such references to it. Another hurdle to using the Twelves is that there is a band group called the Twelves. At least the Legion of Boom trademark didn't fall into enemy hands right?

A&M does pay for the use of Microsoft products that they use.

That's what professional organizations do, work within laws and agreements.

If only our government only granted trademarks and copyrights to the proper people and entities that created them, the whole point of the system.

So because a system isn't "perfect" in your eyes, then it can and should be ignored?

Not ignored, just revisited. Battling in courts IS the system.

Do the Texas A&M fans do the "wave"? If so, then UW should trademark that and specify that this can only be performed in stadiums or arenas in Washington State. Sort of an eye for an eye....ya it's ridiculous but that's really the point.

The wave sucks, I wish the UW would trade mark it.

We should play them for it in the offseason.
