Keeping calm is the latest buzz in T-shirt controversy right now. First Solid Gold Bomb and their violence against women T-shirts. Now we have a company representing Texas A&M Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel filing a lawsuit to stop the sale of T-shirts using his "Johnny Football" nickname.
The lawsuit was filed by Manziel's limited liability company JMAN2 Enterprises, LLC against Eric Vaughan of Fairview, Texas. Manziel's company filed for the trademark of "Johnny Football" on March 2nd and its still pending.
It'll be up to the courts to determine if they can stop Eric Vaughan from selling the T-shirts or have to pay any lost compensation. Until then, Johnny Manziel is a hot commodity, and everyone is wanting a piece of that pie.
Is Eric Vaughan wrong is what he is doing? Until the trademark is finalized, is he really breaking any laws, other than trying to make a quick buck off someone else's name?
