lol this is the first thing I thought of this morning they really need to address this problem at the lowest possible level. Meaning im pretty sure if the cowboys didnt kill the indians we wouldnt be having this conversation...and Dallas isnt apart of the collective bargining agreement on sharing proceeds so it wouldnt even effect teh league to get rid of the cowboys

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
with the understanding that appeals could stretch this out who know's how long - the writing seems to be on the wall here.

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
Yea I give this a wait and see approach. Believe I read that this happened before in the 90's but was overturned. Personally I wouldn't want to see the name changed

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
It was fun while it lasted. Onto a new name. No doubt people in DC pressured these fools into doing this.

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
My understanding is similar things happened in '92 and '99. If that's the case, isn't there plenty of prior evidence on our side to fight the PTO? Doesn't the PTO have to prove something has changed with these trademarks to make them all of a sudden invalid due to being offensive? It seems as if this is more grandstanding by the PTO rather than anything that will be effective.
In case you couldn't tell, I'm not a lawyer.. If we do end up with a new name, I want us to be something completely different. I no longer want to bring attention to the native american community in any way, shape or form. Being as the D.C. area teams have a way of picking terrible names for teams, I'm worried. Additionally, here is a link to the US PTO's decision: USPTO TTABVUE. Proceeding Number 92046185

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
Its safe to say that this is the beginning of the end. I suspect the Skins and the NFL already have the team's new name and logo ready to launch when the time comes.

Some of you have way too much faith in the legal system to think this is anywhere near a quick resolution. They've been down this trademark road before.

Re: Redskins Trademark cancelled
This blows monkey ass.
I have been collecting burgundy and gold Redskins t shirts sweat shirts and jerseys and coffee cups etc etc for about 47 years. And now pinhead politicians and treehuggers are going to make it all stop. This country is turning into an over regulated Brady Bunch circle jerk.
