I mean, they are asking for 25k to fight over their logo in court.

Can’t they just change it? I mean is their logo really central to what they are doing?

Also, this lawsuit doesn’t appear to be “grasping at straws.” Right in the go fund me description, they say baseball-inspired. Also, Cleveland trademarked the “c” logo decades prior to this company existing. Their logo looks exactly like the Cleveland “C” with an added in lighting bolt.

Let's be real, that C looks just like any other block-font C. There's nothing special about it.

The Cleveland guardians C is a block C made up of something like 18 individual straight lines.

The C in question here has the same 18 lines in the same configuration.

Not only that, but the Cleveland C has a flourish at the top of the C- something that is not common with Cs. It almost looks like an upside down G. The C for this org has the exact same flourish at the top.

Seems like it would be cheaper to change the logo.

Not only that, but their C looks NOTHING like the Cleveland C. Cleveland Indians, kind of. Cleveland Guardians, not at all.

This is just their current logo that just came out this past year with the name change. Pretty sure every team keeps trademarks on legacy logos.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's a capital C in a common font, nothing special about it.
