Re: New Legal Question
by Brendan Coots on Sep 25, 2009 at 11:10:41 pm

I'm sure you're right about the NFL, and as I said I'm no lawyer. No one should EVER listen to legal advice from those of us who aren't lawyers.

But my stance is that the NFL isn't likely to pursue a dealership for flashing team colors and saying "go New England." A court of law would expect the NFL to show harm, and/or that consumers could reasonably be confused that this was an endorsement or affiliation. Saying "go New England" doesn't directly invoke any of the NFL's trademarks and therefore, in my opinion, they would have absolutely no grounds for a C&D or lawsuit.
