This is the result of our "non-profit" University of Oregon.

OKOBOJI, Iowa — A northwest Iowa school district superintendent says
the Okoboji Pioneers team will phase out its use of an "O'' logo
after receiving complaints from the University of Oregon.
The Sioux City Journal reported Friday that Superintendent Gary Janssen agreed
to phase out use of the district's maroon logo at the request of the university.
Oregon has trademarked its green or yellow emblem, which was designed by footwear and apparel company Nike.
Oregon is known nationally for its vivid uniforms, which incorporate the "O'' logo.
The logo has become known nationally in recent years as the school's football team
has experienced great success, finishing with a No. 2 ranking last season.

Now, I hope Oprah will come in to complain about the UofO using her "O" trademark.
Maybe Hawaii-Five-O could sue also.
Or, the software giant, Oracle, might join in too.
And all the Irish O'Brien's, O'Casey's, O'Connors, O'Donnells,... on the basis of prior use.
The UofO is in Nike's pocket, and has lost it's Objectivity.
