In term of football rooting, I'm for Arkansas and whoever is playing Texas.
Obviously you are another whining teasip...
Frankly, I find "saw 'em off" less offensive than the Ohio State fans who sported the Longhorn logo with a bullet hole between the eyes and a trickle of blood coming from it.
I laughed my ass off that they got humiliated by Florida with the whole world watching.
If the burnt orange logo is against a maroon backdrop, I can hardly understand anyone confusing it with the real thing. It's a nuisance suit but UT may have the legal standing to protect it's trademarked logo. Had the "saw 'em off" designer given the logo eyes and a face, I don't think UT would have any legal standing. It's the fact that this guy is making money off someone else's trademark that is what gives UT legal standing here. Logos are copywritten and trademarked for the very purpose of preventing others from stealing them and profiting from them, whether they deface the logo or not.
