The Rock
WWE’s own Dwayne Johnson also known as the Rock recently debuted the brand new logo of XFL. It was 2020 when the People’s Champion bought the league, along with his partner Dany Garcia for a hefty 15 million dollars from WWE Chairman Vincent McMahon. The Rock recently posted a video, which announces that the league has been given a 2023 start. However, there have legal implications imposed on the new logo.
Owing to the COVID pandemic, the XFL’s 2020 season was forced to be cancelled after only five weeks, forcing the league to declare bankruptcy. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson debuted the new XFL logo in a new video released to social media earlier this week. The Rock’s tweet is accompanied by a video that features excerpts from former XFL games and promises football fans that the redesigned product would deliver something special to viewers as there are ample changes in the rules, which makes XFL significantly different from the NFL and a must-watch football league.
Sue Bird has reportedly filed a lawsuit against the Rock
The new logo of XFL looks very familiar to what it is of TOGETHXR which has quite been a controversy since the logo of XFL was released. Now, reportedly, Sue Bird and TOGETHXR have officially filed a lawsuit against the Rock and XFL for the similarity in their brand logos. According to TMZ, the suit was filed a few hours ago and there hasn’t been any official confirmed regarding it yet. Here’s what the report from TMZ:
“The lawsuit, obtained by TMZ Sports, was filed on Wednesday — nearly four weeks after Bird and her fiancée, Megan Rapinoe, threatened to get lawyers involved following the XFL’s creation of a new “X” logo. In the lawsuit, TOGETHXR — a media org. co-founded by Bird, Alex Morgan, Chloe Kim and Simone Manuel — says the football league’s logo, which was debuted on April 6, looks and feels “confusingly similar to TOGETHXR’s brand and logo.”
“They included in the docs a side-by-side of the logos … and said they made “repeated attempts” to contact the XFL and its legal team over it all. But, in the docs, attorneys for TOGETHXR said the XFL has “failed to acknowledge that it has tread on TOGETHXR’s rights” — and now, they want a court to step in and force the league to stop using the X logo … plus damages.”
