Many of these schools fly under the radar and don’t have to do anything unless the owner of the trademark catches them illegally trying to profit off of it.
Furthermore, it is such bad publicity for these massive organizations to worry about high schools using their intellectual property that it isn’t even worth it for them to bother with the schools.
At the end of the day, these high schools are using NFL logos because it saved them the trouble of designing their own logo and they know not to try and profit off of this.
As long as they follow the NFL’s guidelines, high schools will continue to ‘steal’ NFL logos.
Today we present, The REAL REASON Why High Schools Steal NFL Logos.

My School didn’t steal an NFL team logo but they did steal the Miami Dolphins logo ;-)
Very good and sadly true. Here from south Florida

@@rodneywest1439 I know it was sarcasm or a joke, but it was retarded, and nah, rather be a HBC
JayRaven79 :Gaming omfg it's a joke because they are trash....
@@yoshi2413 I know it is a joke, but it is dumb so I refuse to play along.
No high school will steal the Cleveland Browns logo.
Jim Peluso I was going to say something about them
I like that hahah
😂😂😂😂
Nope has been done
@@EMGhost Really, what did they use, the elf?
The elementary school I went to had the Steelers name/logo
Krown Gaming oh wow that’s cool, I live near a elementary school that has the Broncos and name and logo
Damn. Does any school have the Eagles logo?
@@AxlBrickman desto
I played for the Chimbo Chargers with the same colors. We just had the Throwback white helmets Dark blue jersey's instead of powder blues.
@@AxlBrickman Shahala middle school in Vancover, WA.
I love how no one talks about Georgia and Green bay having the same logo
Freddy FTW grambling too
So basically back then the Packers logo wasn't copyrighted and we needed a logo so we just took it and changed the color
That's not true, they asked permission from the Packers over concerns about the similarity of the G's and were granted it.
Freddy FTW my highschool has the same logo as well. We look almost identical to Georgia except we have blue as one of our primary colors not just red and white
Yeah it’s weird a school in my town has the same logo and they keep thinking that they’re all that
"Can I copy your homework"?
"Yeah, but change it up a little so it doesn't look obvious that you copied."
*original logos created by dozens of highly talented art and graphic design students*
High schools: 🤢
*Stolen NFL logos and shitty clip art*
High Schools:🤠
My high school didn't copy a NFL logo, but my middle school copied the LA Rams logo and made it red and black
JWR GAMES ya. There’s another school that copied the Rams logo with orange and black around were I live
That’s my school
owasso?
new caanan rams
My old high school did in Simpsonville South Carolina
How many high school “Eagles” do you know with that logo?
I knew an "Eagles" squad with a Seahawks logo...I played them as a 10 year old kid
The 2 I was familiar with were not blatant copies of the Philly logo. They were probably copied from somewhere but it wasnt immediately obvious.
Eagles logo but it’s pointing the other way and it’s purple and gold
my uncle changed the highschools eagles logo stolen form the nfl and he made it an original logo
My college uses the eagles logo.
10:15 anyone else realize the other school stole the Bucs logo
and colors
Yep. Noticed it right away.
Bear Cameron lmao that’s my school
Roman Bellic my school also
Yep
Letting the Saints get a copyright on the fleur-de-lis after all its history that predates the franchise would be an abomination
Tenki CSGO that’ll never happen, you can’t walk a block in new orleans without seeing the fleur de lis ten times, it would be horrible for the city
They wouldn’t even do that, they know what it means to the people of the city, to come to that conclusion sounds dumb. That’s like Dallas trying to put a patent on all stars ever used. Lol
France gonna get lawyered to hell when that happens
There's a highschool where I live that uses the atlanta falcons logo and whenever I represent atlanta they think that school not the nfl team
Same here but with the Vikings. Shout out to Westhill HS.
Juicebox Julian that’s not cool because they think of the the school not the team which I don’t think that’s fair because the Falcons made their logo and the High school just ripped them off by copying it to their school
@@Idk_jotaro exactly
Juicebox Julian that’s sad

@1:51 No one is doing that for you in China, boss
I bet you there are. If you don’t think the corrupt Chinese gvmt would cooperate in shutting down illegally run shops, you’re either naive or stupid, especially at the behest of a gigantic us conglomerate.
My team should have stolen the lions, even though we’re the “Wildcats” we did go 0-8 😂
Jared Jackson The curse carries on...
Lol
Jared Jackson lol my team is the wildcats and we went 0-8 woah
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jared Jackson Eagan MN??
My school didn’t steal an NFL logo, but they did steal an actual NFL player to start for us.
Tony Styles mine did too.. Ernie Davis was a native in my hometown so when they merged the south and north side schools together they based the entire team and logo around him.
My high school didn’t steal a logo however they did steal michigan college helmets
Edit: wow I didn’t expect to get these many likes thank you
My high school, Massapequa Chiefs, uses Michigan's M as the helmet logo; same colors too.
Yo so did mine lol
Mine too
Yeah my school didn’t either but they stole Florida and Florida states logos for are helmets.
Lol mine stole the usc Trojans helmet
My high school used the patriots logo and got sued by them
The Stevenson featured in the video is right by me
Red Bull Sauber Petronas I live right by there too lol
Red Bull Sauber Petronas I go to Stevenson lol
They can’t sue y’all
London Cobb they did look it up
It is worth considering that the NFL team gets a little bit of goodwill in the market when their logo is used by local high schools. Everyone wants to feel part of the NFL experience. Allowing high schools to dress up as NFL players provides a nice link with the club.
High school: no plagiarism and Wikipedia is not a valid source. Also high school: our logo is taken from an NFL team without permission.

At my highschool the Texas long horns made us change our logo, so we had a city wide competition to see who could come up with the best logo back in 2006
11:20 the Lions and Bears logo together is the best thing ever 😂
My school has stolen the Minnesota Vikings logo for almost a century now, it's been about 70 years, the only thing they did was change it from purple to blue
Idk when they're gonna get called out for it
i always wondered about this. thanks TPS!
honestly this pisses me off. just make your own logos, i don't know why it gets me so mad but it does.
My high school uses Purdue boil makers logo the college
Jameson Davis87 pineville high school in Louisiana
You missed the point of the video not ncaa it’s NFL failed to make a point bc you can’t read hahaha
@@charlestonsc96 wtf are you trying to say?
Ayesp saying it’s irrelevant has nothing to do with topic seriously had to explain that wow kids today
@@charlestonsc96 except for the fact it does have something to do with the topic
I remember a story my mother told me that we got sued for our logo. The Oregon Ducks sued my school, a small school in northwest Iowa called the Okoboji Pioneers, sued us because our “O” was to close to their “O”. We had to change it to our current logo and, in our schools rule book, it says that we have to be careful with placing and designing the O on our uniforms.
A high school near me uses the eagles logo
Seneca NJ?
Same our team is called the Wingers and they use the eagle's logo
so do you lmao
Same here
Same and they’re called that too lol
Who besides the New York Jets could use their logo? It says “NEW YORK JETS”.
So I checked most HS use the jets 80s logo
Newyorkjets HS in Newyorkjets, Vermont
11:20 They took the lions logo and the bears logo and made it one: definition of double plagiarism
I think that the C is actually based off the Cincinnati Reds logo.
I don't understand why it would be so difficult to come up with an original logo idea. Most of these schools have art departments or at the very least, talented artists. Have a contest to create a logo. This would have the benefit of getting the whole school involved and promote school pride. Schools like when the students get involved.
I think it’s the most tacky thing in the world when schools do this! 🤦♂️
So no one is gonna talk about how he pronounces Oregon, “ore- re-gone”
Thought I was the only one who noticed
Oh my god it irked me.
Thank you
I came here to post a comment the minute I heard Or-e-“gon” instead of Or-e-“gun”.
Or Ellinois
10:37 What should we name the QB like Aaron Brady or Tom Rodgers
My high school didn't borrow an NFL logo :)
... Because our district is super rich
EDIT: Lol, Stevenson is a rival of my alma mater (New Trier). Hearing their story on here is surreal lol
“Or-eh-gone State”
When you look at it business-wise, it kinda make sense because these schools are not making money off the brand. But also, many of these kids are vying to become future NFL players. So these schools indirectly serve as a future talent pool for the league.
It’s funny because the phrase “super bowl” was not the original name the nfl came up with. The PEOPLE actually came up with it.
My high school copied the old Atlanta Falcons logo, while the baseball here copies the Pirates and the school in the town next to me copies the Lakers, I think another school I went to copied the Tigers, what haven't I seen😂
Top 10 teams that people think can be bad, but can maybe make the playoffs
Josh W so basically top ten underrated teams that can make the playoffs
Bengaals
titans
jets
Tampa bay
Our school was called out by the Tennessee Titans for trying to use there logo. The titans said we would have to pay so the school got a new one.
The green and yellow patriot logo is one of the teams my HS played
I think its Stevenson
Jack Terson Yeah that’s Stevenson, Fucking Rich Kids
I thought it was PHHS
Lol that's my school
SHS wya
My school was the school Oregon sued we’re the Riverside Beavers the logo was exactly the same just gold. Now we have a better logo and Oregon state changed theirs anyway
A.J. Zalar yo same
My high school went from a ripoff Falcons logo to a Ripoff 49ers logo lol. Were the Sheboygan Falls Falcons.
Change that Fortnite pic
11:22 That school fused the Lions and Bears logo together.
I would say it resembles the Reds logo more
Why aren’t the NFL suing them ? 😂😂
Because they have better things to do than sue high school teams
That would be a new low
Who would bother suing high schools? My high school used to have the 85 Patriots logo, but who gives an actual shit about a D7 high school in Ohio? The NFL has better things to do.
I still have no idea as to how a HIGH SCHOOL is taking away MILLIONS of $$$ over a damn logo. It’s not like Westwood High school is a billion dollar organization. The NFL is weak.
So Gonzaga University has some attorneys If I may make a suggestion...
My high school currently uses the old New England Patriots logo for the football team.
Why Aaron Rodgers needs to win another super bowl before he retires
#HELLNAH
The Life f Logan #HELLYEAH
no
#hellyes
Bangtrain - Sports no
There's a High School, Not to Far from me. They have a Eagles logo but it's yellow and orange. There's a Elementaey school with the Vikings logo with a Blue helmet.
Top 10 nfl quarterbacks who had breakout seasons but missed the playoffs...
Gardner Minshew so far.
My high school actually got sued by the Atlanta Falcons while I was a sophomore because we used their logo. The school ended up switching to a fat, bloated version of the Falcons logo my junior year. My class ring has the old logo while my diploma has the new one. We got the last laugh though as the Falcons came to Houston (where my high school is) and lost the Super Bowl.
You can thank New England for that.
There is a high school near me that has the Vikings logo just changed colors its green and yellow
My high school used the Vikings too. Red and blue lol
What state u in cuz we faced a team with thoses colors with Vikings logo
@@xblee777 Baltimore Maryland

Victory(Kissimmee)- Chargers

ANY IM MISSING🤔
My school stole the bills logo, but with orange and blue and is called the herd.
In Oklahoma, a few years back, Tulsa Union got a letter from Miami about the "Broken U" as their logo.
The two high schools I been to designed their own logos.
Were they nice looking?
Weird... My highschool had a competition back in the 80s for a student to design the HS Logo. It's been there ever since
My school uses the packers logo with THE EXACT same colors
Ev Nick u live in Gretna?
You live in Kentucky?
Their logo is the only one free for copyright use
@@trizzy7002 their colours are maroon and yellow, they also use the UF logo.
Kenneth Vereen greenwood and drakes creek?
Two thoughts. The NFL teams were not always so forgiving. At one point in the early 1990s, the Rams were trying to prohibit anyone’s else from using that nickname and had started to go after high schools (if I recall correctly). Secondly, my high school had its uniforms designed after the University of Tennessee but sought permission (or so the story goes) when it opened 40-plus years ago.
America is diffirent world compared to Europe.
It better stay that way.
I always wanted to know that. My high school's rival team are called the patriots and their logo is exactly the same as the new England Patriots logo
My school used the Toledo Rockets logo for years until they threatened to sue us and forced us to rebrand everything
I've heard a high school in my area in greenway Phoenix Arizona stole the Green Bay packers logo, it's called greenway high school
Ive been there for my cousin's baseball. Nice baseball field
My high school was the giants we had white jersey purple helmet with white green bay G for home games it was cheaper and easier to replace those then it was the pin striped purple giant on the white away helmets and we had every home helmet and jersey in pristine condition
My high-school was using the army's knight logo. When the school applied to get a Jrotc program at the school they had to change the logo.
Rutgers came after a local high school near me because they used a capital R on the side of their helmets. C'mon man! Rutgers? Really??
Killer's Opinion yea I heard about that they came after Ruston high the bearcats I think
@@lock1down__ That is the school I was referencing.
I was just thinking about that I always associated the R with Ruston not Rutgers
My high school was the Patriots and we had a similar logo as the Patriots, and during my senior year the Patriots requested (forced) our high school to change the logo or not monetize from their logo.
A highschool in my town has the patriots logo but red black and white
It’s lazy and shows lack of imagination…..
A Mexico team has the redskins logo all the same no change Del Estado Redskins
@Frisko Jack I leave not far from lufkin
My elementary school used the retro Eagles logo, my high school used to use the Redskins logo but have since designed their own
You could have just played the last 2 minutes of this video, and all questions would’ve been answered.
Thank you! I got bored waiting for them to actually explain the reason and scrolled through hoping someone would say when they gave the answer instead of 10 minutes of fluff to give a 2 minute answer
I live in Virginia and this is the schools with nfl/ncaaf logos
Brentville disrict Clemson
Bishop irenton Cardinals
Jamestown Eagles
Loundon valley vikings

There is a highschool called berkmar mar patriots that is exactly the same itd in gwinnette
Don't forget collins hill with eagles lmao
Dude Grayson uses the packers and the rams logo
Kelsey Calvo big fact
Unless there is an NFL team added my school cant get sued, considering we're the "Pugs"
You know how many school are in my area with the Eagles logo?
16 not lying, every schools team name is the Eagles😂
Tastyquicksand - #DailyNFLVideos Lol oh my and some be contenders and some be losers and some be on & off teams don’t they
I live in Minnesota, look up the Cook Vikings... WHY!!!
Wait the Alexandria Cardinals are also in Minnesota and my grandma went there! 😐
Same
NFL is jewish. Going after a church doesn't surprise me
Based
Where I live (an unknown part of Canada), it's like every school in the district school board has a stolen logo. My school used a blue and white version of the Denver Broncos logo as the main logo. Two of our alternate logos were blue and white versions of the Calgary Stampeders and Western Michigan Broncos logos. There's also a school with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats logo, a school with the Missouri Tigers logo, a catholic school with a darker version of the Rams logo, etc. Those schools are gonna get sued at some point
My high school was actually contacted by the Philadelphia eagles and were threatened with legal action unless they change their logo we ended up changing the entire turf field and all merchandise because of this
My North high Vikings IN Denver even used the color scheme of purple and gold
My school I graduated stole the Minnesota Golden Gophers fight song, the one my father graduated from stole the Ohio State fight song, and the cross town rivals of ours out in drug dealing territory use a Lakers recolored old Seahawks logo.
In case you're wondering it's Tri-County North, Dixie, and Eaton in that order, all based out of Ohio.
Reminds me of my wife and mine stories from high school. She went to Quincy Notre Dame, they marched in the mardi gras parade in New Orleans, the (inebriated) LSU fans thought they were Notre Dame University (despite the high school being the Raiders and not the fighting Irish). The high school I went ti mascot was the blue Devils, we took a trip to Atlanta, making a stop in North Carolina, and people thought we were the Duke blue Devils band.
My school just straight us uses the Vikings logo. No changes what so ever. Same colors. Same everything. Even shockingly similar jerseys.
A high where my grandma used to teach they used the vikings logo but with green
That bears/lions mashup at the end oh man haha
My high school was the tigers and we’ve have our own logo. Actually we’ve had a few different logos over the years and all original
In my city, we’ve literally got a kids football team with a Seahawks and they literally have Seattle’s colors and logo
You have to defend a trademark otherwise it can be taken from you and the law won't be on your side.
I use to work at a fundraising company. Long story short we would print different items for schools around the country. 95% of these schools logos were from College or professional team's. I honestly thought it was a matter of time before someone got sued.
The high school I graduated from strait up stole the Raider’s mascot. Identical mascot. William Hebert Harrison High School.
Why would the Raiders care? They are a multimillion dollar industry that shouldn’t care about a little high school.
They should be thanking us for supporting them. 🤷♂️
My school copied The Denver Broncos logo
I think the NFL still profits because the schools who have similar logos generally have fans who buy the NFL teams apparel in some cases
I've always wondered why teams can't trademark their nicknames, like Giants, Cardinals, Panthers, Rangers, etc. which have multiple pro/college teams using them. What keeps a franchise/college from trademarking their nickname?
2:23 what the hell Is that 😂
JIMBO a high school
Matt Anderson yea ik but like at there logo
@@JxmesMoran a red cardinal with a letter "A" behind it.
A high school in our division got in trouble for literally ripping the exact Green Bay packers logo
we used to have the eagles logo but blue, but we changed it due to other teams in Texas having the same logo.
My team logo kinda stole the Carolina Panther's logo
My school uses the fucking Patriots logo
My school got a cease-and-desist from the University of Miami so we flip where the U was parted and then trademarked the logo calling it “The Spirit U”.Also we got consent from the university of Kansas and our team name is the J-Hawks, our logo is just the Kansas Jay Hawk with a U on its chest.
Look up Urbandale High School Logo it’s funny we ripped 2 collages
One of our teams we face for football copied the Vikings logo. They are called Lepsic Vikings
My school is called the pirates and they have there own logo and it’s super cool and we are a very small school but have one state champions a couple times and we usually have to play 2 to 3 positions
