It ludicrous to think an artist (even one that paints Bammer scenes) couldn't generate paintings of whatever he chooses. I can't see how an entity can try to trademark what can be reproduce in original art work.</p>

then Bama lost, in part, because they do not use a logo anywhere on their uniform. From what the judge said had there been an official Bama logo on the helmet the artist would not be allowed to paint that. I really think there should be some legal questions surrounding a PUBLIC school, paid for by tax dollars, being able to stop people from using their logos. I realize that is a can of worms but it seems to me that as a public University there should be some legal limits there.

Edit to add: Nice to see Bama being a douchebag to such a huge fan. Couldn't they try to work this out amicably?

He is painting a moment in a game. The uniforms and any logos (including opposing schools) are necessary but not the subject of the painting. If the subject of the artwork were the logo then Alabama would have a case, I think.

If the issue were the logo, then almost no paintings would ever be done. I don't think LSU would permit the Alabama artist to use their logo in a bad moment for LSU.

Takeo Spikes gouging out the eyes of the Georgia freshman running back
You're the guy at the shooting range who the instructor has to tell, "Hey buddy, turn around, we're shooting this direction" aren't you?

Takeo? Really?

And you want Moore to paint Florida v. UGA?

bama is a ra-tard for even thinking about this.. there are tons of other SEC logos in the paintings and none of them ever got in a tiff about it (that i've seen).

I am working on a commemorative piece of artwork that will capture the moment the NCAA declares Sidney eligible.
