    I believe the A is the new standalone brand by the team, since the I think they don't have the rights to use the double blue shield logo, Adidas has those rights.

    How could that be? The Adidas deal was league-wide. Surely the league would not have signed any deal with a supplier that cedes control of its trademarks. And why just one team affected?

    Maybe adidas has an exclusivity ideal.

    is there any actual evidence for this claim, or are you just spit-balling? And again, why would a deal with Adidas be different for one team? I'm pretty sure the league got its house in order with respect to collective ownership of trademarks in the mid-1980s.

    He's spit balling. There's no way the league would sign away the rights to their intellectual property.

    Don't think it has anything to do with it. I was just looking at some items on the Argos shop. They have both A and Shield logo on items under the Mustang brand.
    It's us vs the rest of the country
