Messages - Garnet

#1
 The Ivy League has agreed to participate in the NCAA Division I FCS playoffs, starting with the 2025 season. The league had long ended its season at the end of the regular season. Marks a distinct shift for Ivy League football, which can now play for national title.

The genesis of the idea for the Ivy League to play in FCS playoffs came via a proposal from Ivy League student athletes. The proposal from the league's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) was approved Tuesday by a vote of the Ivy League Council of Presidents. - Pete Thamel ESPN

will NESCAC do the same?

I'm kinda pissed that Swathmore is allowed to trademark a color.

You can trade mark anything, but there's no way their trademark to "Garnet" would ever hold up on an infringement claim. Totally generic.  Union should have just gone with Garnet and ignored the trademark issue.  Or paid Swarthmore some small sum. Apparently, they didn't even contact them.

In this situation, Garnet is the same as Tigers, or Eagles or any other generic moniker.  I don't think anyone can trademark a color unless they 'created' the color.  If Union wanted to be known as The Union College Garnet, there is nothing to stop them from doing so.  Union believes they are being unique with this moniker change.  One word, lame.

Copyrights or trademarks for a school logo are different than a moniker.

All these years I have found LewDogg's posts to be quite entertaining.  I wonder what 'gro is up to.

Chargers? lame mascot

Chargers ?  Lame.

It will be easier to refer to teams as Garnet and I predict that is what will happen. On the other hand, some may shorten in to Chargers.  Garnet Chargers is too much.

Utah,

Your research was very good.  I was going on memory and at my age it is not what it used to be.  I did a quick look in the archives and found an old program with this on the cover...

I tried a few times to upload a picture but the "tray" is too full

1986 Hobart/Union football:

Someone (Michael Capone) has put up a bunch of Hobart games from the mid 1980s on youtube.  Go to 13:20 and watch the punt return in this game....NO FLAG on the play. 

And what is the logo on the Union helmets?

1986 Union celebrating 100 years of football at Union had a football with "100" on it in place of the script Union.
