UT and the College Licensing Company are pursuing dealers of those loverly crimson-and-cream hats with inverted Longhorns logos for trademark infringement, reports The Oklahoma Daily. This isn't terribly surprising considering, the Athletic Department went after UT student groups who used the steer motif in club materials. (According to Athletics, its a symbol for the sports teams, while the interlocking UT is the general university symbol.) But what is surprising is UT authorizes two logos, the upside-down "horns" hand signal and the word "Texas" printed upside down. OU gets the proceeds from licensing these symbols. One question remains, however. If "The University" considers the "horns-down" signal a legitimate use of its iconography, why was there such a furor over Arkansas Coach Houston Nutt's use of "horns-down" after the Cotton Bowl? Maybe its because Longhorn fans are ignorant?
where can i find a ou hat with the upside down longhorn on it??
