Togethxr

XFL

 

[Lunarorbit]

Both those logos are lame. Similar but different enough that it would lose in court. Xfl will just change so they don't get in a pissing match

 

[Dynomite]

XFL logo looks heavily inspired by the other but different enough to get by (maybe).

 

[HoodWinked]

Ugh she is so insufferable. Her grift seems to be as annoying as possible until people just give in.

 

[thefool]

Its just a variation of a black and white X.

 

[DeepBreath87]

One brand that was never relevant is whining because another brand that is also irrelevant has a similarly generic logo.

 

[jason10mm]

A butterfly should sue them both.

 

[zombrex]

It is a bubble x that is not joined in the middle
Not an original idea and certainly not hers.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Still trying to make fetch happen with the XFL? Why?

 

[Ragnarok]

Still trying to make fetch happen with the XFL? Why?

Better than trying to make women's soccer happen.

 

[Kilau]

She just has to wait about 3 months for this version to fold.

 

[Slayer-33]

Ayyyy

 

[LordCBH]

Even if the new xfl folds next week it would still be more relevant than women's soccer.

 

[*Nightwing]

Opps, X font split down center already created in 2020 before Togethxr created in 2021.

Maybe soccer stars should stay in thier lane and not try and venture forth into copywriter laws less they end up looking like they have no functioning grey matter

 

[Nester99]

Both logos are basically Under Armor turned on it's side

 

[ipukespiders]

The Rock got slapped with a cease and desist.

 

[Zeroing]

As a designer I have to say this. Both should had hire better designers. I wouldn't be surprised if both hired the same person without knowing.

 

[DeepEnigma]

 

[PSYGN]

Yeah this isn't going to go anywhere. You can't split a letter and call it yours. 110% sure others have done the same 1000 times over before.

 

[mortal]

Megan Rapinoe is desperate for attention and money any way she can get it.

 

[Boss Mog]

I'd say "Fuck Megan Rapinoe!" but honestly I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. She is the scum of the earth and is just seeking attention.

 

[12Goblins]

not sure why this is news or worth discussing

 

[zeorhymer]

Q: Did she copyright/trademark the logo?
A: No. The Rock can tell her to eat shit.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

I like both of them, but I think Rapinoe has a point. The logo is basically an X, so there is always going to be some similarity. However, the slogan about not waiting and building it is a bit too similar. I think The Rock needs to talk to whoever was responsible for generating this marketing material, because it's an expensive and embarrassing process to alter this stuff after the public reveal. It's Rich Energy all over again.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Nothing will happen.

Rapinoe doing it for exposure. That TogethXR twitter account was hardly any followers compared to XFL.

 

[WoJ]

In my mind she will be standing before a judge making this case and he will just start laughing at her and tell her to get the hell out of his courtroom.

Then the Rock gives her a Rock Bottom.

 

[daveonezero]

IP law is stupid.

 

[HoodWinked]

ya i think the only thing that is noteworthy is that while the split X is similarish it's hardly enough but it's because the woke bullshit that's infested into the marketing of even things like the XFL they did this whole ">Together<", "INTERSECTION OF DREAMS & OPPORTUNITY" shit which just makes it so fucking easy for lesbian Karen to make the case. Hopefully next time they hire a good PR team and not a bunch of idiots.

 

[BigBooper]

Which one of those wears bikinis while they play?

 

[AJUMP23]

I'm starting XGAF the x stands for together.

pretty much this

 

[chromhound]

Don't give EviLore ideas

 

[InfiniteCombo]

This is comical.

On the one hand, I despise Megan Rapinoe and everything she stands for. A useless clown if I ever saw one.

On the other hand, the branding and messaging ("iNcLuSivItY") of the XFL is dumb.

Let them fight

 

[ThatStupidLion]

too basic/common of a design idea to claim anything imo

 

[AlteredForms]

Hasn't the XFL died twice already? They should let it go at this point.

 

[poppabk]

I'm starting XGAF the x stands for together.

❯GAF❮ lawyers will be in touch.

 

[bitbydeath]

 

[TransTrender]

I don't see anything similar between the branding of the XFL...and... whatever this is.

 

[March Climber]

The XFL logo makes me think of Powerade and Under Armour. Not sure if that's good or bad but it fits right in.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Amazing how XFL can keep going with a third try.

 

[Star-Lord]

So is she upset that XFL used the word 'together' between a split X? She thinks she owns that word?

 

[Toots]

A butterfly should sue them both.

That is the most poetic thing i heard today.
Thank you sir.
Makes you wonder how fucked we would be if Nature could sue...

 

[Harold Lloyd]

That Togethxr logo reminds me of something, maybe it's just me...

 

[Amory]

I can't stand her.

"Togethxr" ugh fuck off

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Can somebody who gives a shit about football explain to me why the XFL has failed every single time when they never even attempted to compete with the NFL? If it's purely due to the lack of skill compared to NFL players, then how is college football so popular?

I mean, I'm a fan of blowjobs, and I think I'd accept an additional blowjob on top of what I'm already getting, even if it wasn't the top of the craft.

Have you ever watched an XFL game?

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Have you ever watched an XFL game?

I watched like two Tampa games during the XFL's first attempt way back into the day, because I was into professional wrestling at the time. I suppose what I'm saying is why doesn't football have a lucrative minor league?

I understand that it doesn't, I just want to know why.

 

[Catphish]

I understand that it doesn't, I just want to know why.

Just a guess, but maybe because that's what college football is for. Maybe an NFL minor league would skim talent from the colleges more than they would like?

Dunno.

 

[Torrent of Pork]

Dunno.

But only a small fraction of the kids playing college football will ever have a hope of making it into the NFL. If college football is a multi-billion dollar industry, why isn't that level of play profitable when the players aren't playing for free? You would think a minor professional league for all the washouts would be viable if they didn't try to compete with the NFL.

Edit - I have the same questions about arena football. I don't think there's some conspiracy or something, but I'm just curious why college football is profitable while non-NFL football isn't.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Yeah good question. Its funny because I fucking love college football... and I fucking love the NFL. But I dont give a shit about arena and I probably wont give a shit about the XFL lol. Well who knows maybe I will, have to see how it turns out.

But I think college works because it gets a pass for not being as talented as the NFL... while Arena and XFL dont get that same pass.

In college football... we know everyone there is just a college kid playing cause they love it and they want a shot at the NFL. So you don't look at a team and go "just a bunch of guys that can't make it into the league." We know this what happens before the NFL, not directly in competition with the NFL. So you can enjoy it and be like "Bama is the fucking best" cause no one is really comparing them to the Rams. You've got that mental separation.

Also college is more closely tied to peoples background and upbringing ill bet. So theres a little bit of that wild fanbase mentality going on haha. I grew up in Oklahoma and went to college there, Oklahoma football is like the biggest thing going on by far lol. I think the stadium holds like 86K people and when the Sooners play the stadium becomes one of the largest cities in the whole state. College football is like a goddamn cultural experience for people haha.

Arena and XFL I dont think have those advantages going for them, and since it takes place after college... its probably just way easier to go "just some dudes that cant make it into the league" and lose interest.

I know when they did XFL redux a few years ago they tried to fix that by positioning it as like an off season supplement to the NFL, where players could get a second chance look. But then COVID started right away and wiped it out.
