MILWAUKEE - Anheuser-Busch InBev is dropping its "Fan Cans" promotions from communities around the country where colleges, including Boise State University, have complained that the effort - which sells cans of Bud Light in school colors - promotes underage drinking and infringes on trademarks.
The cans have no college logos, names or other identifiers - just 27 color combinations.

This may mark the first time ever I have combined the beer, Idaho, and college football ping lists into one post. And they said it couldn't be done.

One more bunch of whiney fart heads getting their knickers in a twist and verifying that the USA is becoming more wussified every day. They probably all wear mamma jeans too.

BS.
They have no problem with licensing their emblems on beer cans.
They don't like this because nobody is greasing their greasy little palms.

Colleges have been increasingly wary of licensing (de facto endorsement), especially with alcohol.
I don’t recall EVER seeing a college logo on a beer can, but it could have happened.

Probably not a problem putting the colors on a Coke or Pepsi can though even though it’s worse for you than beer.

I have on a blue shirt and black paints. Just a shirt and paints? Do not post a picture even if the shirt is relatively long.

True.
But underage and binge Pepsi drinking isn’t a problem on college campuses.
Colleges are worried about the injuries, deaths and other consequences of alcohol abuse, so they’re trying to remove themselves from any liability or bad press.
I don’t think they have a legal case about the can colors, though.

See tag line. The UT (Texas) cans were the wrong orange.
