Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Ignite Legal War With My Chemical Romance Over Fake Uniforms
TMZ • • general
Key Points:
- The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' brand owner, Pro Silver Star, has filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction against My Chemical Romance for using backup dancers dressed in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) uniforms during their tour performances.
- The band’s dancers, dressed in the iconic cheerleader outfits, perform a staged skit involving prop guns and a fake firefight, which Silver Star claims damages the DCC's reputation and misleads audiences into thinking the performers are the real cheerleaders.
- Despite receiving a cease-and-desist letter, My Chemical Romance refused to stop using the uniforms, prompting Pro Silver Star's attorney Alex Spiro to take legal action to prevent further trademark infringement.
- Pro Silver Star emphasizes that they do not object to the band’s performance content, only the unauthorized use of the DCC uniforms, arguing that alternative costume options are available and would avoid harm to the brand.
- The legal action aims to halt My Chemical Romance’s use of the uniforms before their upcoming four-night show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, seeking immediate judicial intervention to remove the "counterfeit" uniforms from the stage.
