Redskins Trademark cancelled
U.S. Patent office cancels Redskins trademark registration, says name is disparaging - The Washington Post
Will probably still be years in the courts with appeals and such. So its still not a done deal, but the fight will get more interesting now. |

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
Fight definitely not over yet, but this isn't a good sign for us.

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
Yeah, this is a potential game changer. No way the team or NFL allows an untrademarked team name to exist. Way too much money that could be made without the NFL being able to do a thing about it. Nothing will happen immediately but I wouldn't be surprised to see a name change by 2017 at the latest.

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
To me it seems like this isn't worth fighting anymore. Snyder should just change the name and be done with it. We live in such a over sensitive society now. My goodness.

But giving up the name is giving up so much, for nothing in return. If we knew that the majority of Native Americans were offended and that by dropping the name we were improving people's lives, I could stomach it. But, no... we're dropping the name, and in turn, so much of the team's legacy, just because a few Native Americans are "offended". It makes me sick. |

I would just change the name to "Skins". Get rid of the face on the helmet and all should be good. Plus we can all keep our 30 years worth of gear in our closets. But I would exhaust every ounce of NFL leverage I have first. I'd tell the league - I'll change the name but first I want this, this, this, and that. Or we can fight this in court for the next 5 years. Your call. |

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
When I first heard about it I thought, "Now, Redskins fans will be able to get cheaper Redskins merchandise as anyone could make stuff that says 'Washington Redskins' without paying the licensing fee. Can the Giants lose their protection?" Then realized this will have a negative impact on NFL revenues and the league will make them change the name.
Yes, I know they keep their protection while it is appealed.

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
Does this mean we can go back to calling this site "redskinswarpath.com?"
