What’s a Name Worth?

For a mere $35.00, the clothing manufacturer Xara sells a “USA Soccer” jersey that is not Cheap NFL Jerseys licensed by US Soccer but is instead, in their own words, “A Unique Soccer Experience Representing a Country.” Apparently that “US Soccer” trademark is worth about $45.00 per shirt to Nike and the US Soccer.

Total sales of officially licensed merchandise totaled $12.6 billion in 2010 in just MLB, NFL, and college sports alone, so apparel sales are clearly big business in spectator sports. It is in this backdrop that the peculiar case of the Washington Redskins vs. the Federal Trademark Trial and Appeal Board is of interest to economists.

Over the past two or three decades, under pressure from Native American tribes and other petitioners, dozens of colleges and high schools have changed their mascots from representations of Native Wholesale NFL Jerseys Americans. While Miami University (Ohio) and Southern Nazarene University both dropped the name “Redskins” in the late 1990s, the NFL’s Redskins have resisted the calls to change their mascot. This may be changing.

The Federal Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, which adjudicates questions regarding trademarks, recently heard a case requesting that the board classify the word “Redskin” as a derogatory Baltimore Ravens Jerseys Cheap slur.

Dallas Cowboys Miss Out on Coveted Free Agent Tackle

n Sunday, former Pro Bowl tackle Tyson Clabo signed Cheap Jerseys with the Miami Dolphins.
The move effectively ended any chance that the Dallas Cowboys had to sign the 6-6 330 lbs., tackle and solidify the right side of the offensive line. In my opinion, it would have been nice to sign Clabo, who is a solid run blocker, but not a move that will make or break the Cowboys’ season.

There had been rumors out of Valley NFL jerseys Ranch that people within the organization valued Clabo and that the team would pursue his services if an agreement were not reached with Doug Free on a potential pay cut.
Well, as of today the Cowboys and Free remain at a standstill and neither side appears ready to budge. Personally, I think it’s unfair to Free that the team has asked him to take a pay cut because this team has underachievers at other positions pulling in fat paychecks also, granted he is the highest paid underachiever, but I’ve digressed.
Personally, I would take it as a slap in the face that the team is asking me to take a pay cut, but restructuring other’s contracts. Yes, it is true that Free wouldn’t make anywhere cheap Washington Redskins jerseys near what he’s making with the Cowboys right now if he were released, but he would take his guaranteed money and put the Cowboys in a bigger hole with regards to the salary cap.
I think that Free simply had an off year last season, and will rebound in 2013. The team did after all ask him to switch positions for the third time in three seasons. I don’t see this ending well for either side, but it appears that Free holds more leverage in this battle.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHrQzuNa2rk
