LOL.. you know, my parents came up to visit me a couple weeks ago and were asking me why they couldn't find the RWB bucking horses anymore.. but I haven't heard a ton about why they were pulled from shelves, besides some d-bag said he owned copyright on it. You know anything else? Or anyone, for that matter..

I got the skinny on that last week, actually. A guy in Gilette has been selling the American flag Wyoming bucking horse stickers for almost 10 years and had a copyright on the design. When the University decided to start using the decals they snaked the idea from him without asking or paying royalties. He was understandably pissed off and sued for his royalties, putting a cease & desist order on the logo until everything got resolved. They got everything settled by paying him royalties for what had been sold up to the settlement, but he had to give up the copyright. The state licensing office has since changed the language on the bucking horse and rider logo, so now it says that no one may copyright any form of the BH&R design other than the State of Wyoming. (Which means that MrTitleist will never be able to make a buck off of his Wyoming flag BH&R design.)MrTitleist said:
That makes sense, but I can't figure out why they stopped selling the state flag bucking horse.. I heard it was related to this. Anyways, when I sent the logo to UW they made me sign a copyright waiver, basically, me giving them the rights to the logo.. which was fine.. I'd like to see UW print more merchandise with it, but not sure who I should bug about that.

I think they only made two printings of the Wyoming flag logos and quit. Wanted them to be a limited edition kind of deal. As soon as they run out of the USA logos they won't print anymore for the near future either. I do hear rumors of another special BH&R logo for this season, but can't really say much more than that.MrTitleist said:
I hope they use the state flag next year again.. vs CSU.. I think this time on a white helmet.

Might have been easier to see them on the Brown than White?WYO1016 said:
But I hope to see more of the Brown helmets, Gold Jerseys, and Brown pants next season. That was my favorite combo.
The brown helmet was my suggestion.. but after the game was over, Kevin McKinney and I agreed white would be better for the next time they're used.

Me? Seriously, I have to get adjustable hats (none of those with the plastic things) and have to go about to the very end of what they can, just so it fits my head. I have long since given up wearing this type of cowboys hat;
because I would need to get one custom made. And those one size fits all hats and other non-adjustable hats, and even a lot of winter hats, simply do not fit.
