Any child of the '90s knows there's only one brand brave enough to venture into the world Vince Williams Jersey of light-up athletic shoes. And that brand, L.A. Gear, is trying to stop the Chargers from trademarking their name and logo. The Chargers, who beginning in 2017, unveiled . It was , what with it looking like a Dodgers logo on a heavy dose of methamphetamines. There are some problematic i sues with the logo from an artistic standpoint (namely: it's terrible). But there's some i sues when it comes to the Chargers trademark as well.Naturally any team that files a patent or trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office is seeking to sell athletic gear. The L.A. Chargers are no different : Clothing, footwear and headwear, namely, caps, hats, visors, headbands, ear muffs, wristbands, tops, T-shirts, tank tops, Joe Greene Jersey sleepwear, golf shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts, turtlenecks, jackets, neckties, bibs not of paper, jerseys, coats, robes, ponchos, sneakers, gloves, scarves, mittens, aprons, shorts, sweatpants, jeans, pants, socks, underwear, swimwear, rompersThe i sue here is that L.A. Gear's been in the game for a lot longer, selling the same Jerome Bettis Jersey stuff with a pretty similar looking name and logo.Now, no one with a brain is going to confuse L.A. Gear with the L.A. Chargers. The Chargers are a football team that wastes the career of Philip Rivers and gags away late leads. L.A. Gear is a brand of footwear that lights up in the back. (Although maybe there's a correlation here ...)However, in the interest of selling athletic apparel, a.k.a., , it would be understandable that L.A. Gear wouldn't be thrilled about its already waning sales potentially taking a hit because of the Chargers similar logo. So they filed an opposition to the Chargers patent, ' "applied-for mark is confusingly similar to the marks of Opposer identified hereinabove."Additionally because the two will be offered to the "same cla s of Joe Gilliam Jersey consumers" L.A. Gear is claiming that the Chargers marks are "likely to cause confusion, or cause to mistake, or to deceive as to the source of the goods."The Chargers have since come out and said that the L.A. logos are simply for marketing and won't be on any uniforms. So they'll probably find something new to use instead. It's pretty obvious the franchise didn't do its due diligence in terms of competition for Maurkice Pouncey Jersey the marks, however, which shouldn't be a surprise given how this has gone down.
