Terrible Towels, Terrible T-Shirts, Terrible Trademark?

Terrible Towels, Terrible T-Shirts, Terrible Trademark?

The Pittsburgh Steelers and The Allegheny Valley School are suing Eugene Berry over “The Terrible T-shirt,” a yellow t-shirt with those words printed on the front along with the phrase “A Pittsburgh Original.”  The Allegheny Valley School owns the actual Terrible Towels trademark, but the Steelers have an exclusive license to market Terrible Towel products.  The school and the football team are suing Mr. Berry for trademark infringement, unfair competition, fraud, and other allegations.  Guess we know what the Steelers were up to during the Lockout.
