Education for Texans

Make it a sticky for 2024

The only way to settle this dispute is via an unbiased third party with no dog in the fight. Google “UT logo” using a private browser and lmk what comes up

The SEC member the earliest wins. New members have to make a choice distinguishing themselves for those already members.

Thus Tennessee retains their UT

I suggest Texas use UTa to distinguish them from the REAL UT

WTF, Google has nothing to do with it. They're a founding member of the SEC, pledge. And screw you for making me take up for them

Careful with the pledge talk, Aggies are strongly anti-FSL

In 1986 the University of Tennessee and the University of Texas agreed to share the well-known interlocking “UT” trademark that both schools use. Tennessee applied for registration of the trademark for the sale of jewelry, paper, metal and leather goods, as well as printed matter, housewares, glassware, and clothing. Texas owned registration of the trademark for educational and entertainment goods. Tennessee’s and Texas’s trademarks are different but similar enough to cause confusion to manufacturers, who have used them interchangeably in the past. The agreement gave Texas commercial rights to the trademark west of the Mississippi River and Tennessee the rights east of the Mississippi and in West Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana (home of LSU).

Tl/dr: Texas owned the logo and allowed Tennessee to borrow it in good faith

Any man who must say "I am the king" is no true king. Same goes for this insistence on who the "real" UT is.

U of Tennessee was founded almost 100 years before U of Texas.

Matter of fact, U of Tennessee was founded before Texas was a state.

Tennessee is UT, sure, whatever. We’ll be Texas and that’s fine with us.
