Tim Tebow Cease & Desist over Jesus logo - 5/17/12

 

Tebow sends cease and desist letter to maker of Jesus-y Jets T-shirts

 

Tim Tebow's attorneys sent a cease and desist letter to the folks at Cubby Tees who are making these T-shirts, according to TMZ:


Tebow's attorneys put it this way: "The Merchandise makes it appear as if Mr. Tebow actually endorses Cubby Tees and its products." Where that actually happens is a bit of a mystery.

The shirt, as you can see, remixes the Jets logoto a more Jesus-friendly theme. The "NY" is replaced with "MY" and the "JETS" is replaced with "JESUS." In addition, what's normally a football at the bottom of the logo is the "Ichthys," or "sign of the fish," often used to express faith.

And yes, when you think of Jesus and the Jets together, you probably think of Tebow, but the shirt itself contains absolutely no Tebow references. I am neither a theologian nor a lawyer, but I don't think Tebow is the only one allowed to claim Jesus as "My Jesus." But again, I'm not sure exactly how close Tebow and Jesus are. I could be wrong about that.

It's not the first time something like this has happened, either. Jerseys like these have existed for years. READ MORE HERE
