The Longhorn logo has been the pride of Payson High School and its sports teams for decades.” There has to be a better solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a High School sued the crap out of a big time university or NFL team for using their logo. 🤣 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think they could settle somewhere in the middle. Perhaps a 3% royalty on all of the high school's merch sales or something like that. The University of Texas would probably laugh at how little the logo actually brings in for the high school. Nothing more than a power move honestly.

They should cease and desist. Is there a Lomghorn anywhere in AZ? I suggest they call themselves the fighting Saguros. No one wants Cacti as a mascot. 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilDog Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Western Illinois University are called The Leathernecks and used to have a mascot that looked like our Bulldog. Ours would be the Marine Corps where you earn the title Leatherneck. They did change it to a yellow Bulldog but are still called the Leathernecks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
