Unless there's some other element to the story not in this article, I don't see how the Guardians have a case. The Cs are different, one has a lightning bolt, one has a text banner beneath it ... one side's a baseball team in Ohio and the other is a record label/clothing store in Virginia. Not much chance for confusion.

Probably hoping they can out spend and win that way. Winning would strengthen their trademark and make it easier to go after others.

The C he uses is the same as the old block C Cleveland used before the name change. It’s still the same ownership of the team I would assume they’ve got that copyrighted pretty strongly and that’s what the suit is over, not the current logo. If that’s not the case Clemson and any other team with a C logo should go class action on the guy because the current logo is completely different

waiting for Walgreens to take down the Nationals, or maybe they already tried.

People named Bill need to file a class action against the Buffalo Bills.

Not being a baseball fan, I was legit confused why people were wearing Walgreens ball caps as if they were their favorite team (and equally confused about why Walgreens had a team).

Chickahominy has a better case against Charged Up than the Guardians, in my opinion.

Ridiculous with a capital R. Cleveland Baseball Team, maybe do your due diligence before you adopt a new logo that is vaguely similar (an arguable point) to that of a small regional business that's been in business for decades.

Do your thing Reddit. I’ve known Noah for years. Always been a solid dude. He deserves better than this.

Hopefully the Calgary Flames don’t see the hats too…
