Big Orange fans making a push for President Bush handed out 24,000 "Vols for Bush" stickers at recent UT home games. The Bush campaign in East Tennessee had them printed, but supporters can forget about scoring one now. "They're a hot collector's item now, but unfortunately, we'll hold on to them and not give anymore out," says Gary Drinnen, a Bush Campaign Coordinator for this region. UT's trademark licensing office has two problems with the "Vols for Bush" stickers. The word "Vols" and the orange and white checkerboard... two distinctive UT symbols. Michael Young, coordinator of the UT trademark licensing office says the University feels the stickers represent an implied endorsement of a candidate and that can't be. John Brown of UT's College Republicans was among those handing out the stickers before losing possession. "The officer showed us a badge and took us to the side and said the violate copyright law and they're illegal and we shouldn't be passing them out and he confiscated them," says Brown. The local Bush campaign says it's shaking off this turnover. It's designed a new play in the form of an orange and white sticker that just says "W, the president." It does not violate UT policy. The College Republicans say they'll be handing out the new "W the President" stickers on campus before the Auburn game this Saturday.
Abuse of power by a police officer certainly rates as more of a concern than a minor case of copyright infringement.
He was actually going for red, but changed his mind right in the middle and wound up orange as a result.
Catamounts for Bush!!!
Now THAT would be a rare one! LOL
Seriously. Alumni from a school are prohibited from saying that they are alumni AND conservatives?
When will Texas A&M start cracking down on all of the "infracting" Aggie merchandise?
The left is not happy. Let's see them go completely bonkers this November. Re-elect President Bush. He's the best man for the job of the Presidency out of the candidates who are running. His VP is the best candidate to ascend to the Presidency should something unfortunate happen to George Bush.
The left was all paranoid about the possibility of a President Quayle. Notice how they are not at all concerned about the very real possibility of seeing President Edwards?
Don't think that Al Qaida and the Islamofascists wouldn't like to see it become a reality. A president who is weak on terrorism could present just such an opportunity.
So much for freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeedom... Dicks.
What the hell is a Vol?
Chico State Wild Cats for Bush
I hope I don't get sued. LOL
That would be short for Volunteer. You're kidding, right?
They'd probably have gotten away with it had the sticker's read "Vols Fan For Bush"....
>>>That would be short for Volunteer. You're kidding, right?
Not everyone knows their College sports nicknames...give 'em a break.
I saw an Orange W sticker last nite at a Young Life silent auction at Belle Meade Plantation.....I wondered where it came from.
Nope, thought it was some kind of regional thing, like "Giggim Aggies" or "Monache is for the losers by the sewer" ... that sort of thing.
We voted for Bush in 2000 over a Tennessean (Gore). Little respect?
Your right. The state does deserve respect. Winning Tennesse made gore a hugh loser. I still laugh about him losing his own state. Love to see kerry lose Mass. I know it won't happen.
Anyway, I still have a problem with the UT admin., for jumping on the Tenn. Republicans for their bumper stickers. LSU republicans did the same thing and did not have any issue.
You got it. I hope Auburn parks Tennessee good this weekend. Their spineless Crat loving school deserves it.
Sincere thanks to you great Tennessee folks for your vote in the last presidential election. But the Tennessee admin at the U can jump down a sewer.
