Saints and Bucs Dispute over TM KREWE
An NFC South battle is brewing off the gridiron between the New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Bucs that could land the franchises in court over using the trademarked name “KREWE.” New Orleanians and the Gulf Coast region have used the word “KREWE” during Mardi Gras or even referenced social clubs, businesses, and sports organizations for years.
