How much do you think apparel companies pay to use a trademark? Depends on the contract of course. For example, one can sell trademark rights to an apparel company or to a second party for a lump sum or a percentage of the profits/sales price etc. Certainly, there can be other options negotiated between the involved parties. Some of our legal experts would know better than I (nothing personal , but if we are upset about the money “we leave off the table” rather than “on the table”, we should have someone else negotiating).  
 

Profit margins on sporting apparel is often higher than other apparel, up to 30% maybe a little more or sometimes significantly less. That goes to the retail store owner, not the owner of the trademark. I may be mistaken, but the money earned from this on a “limited time run” isn’t going to produce $400,000 or more. This isn’t the Nike Swoosh.

NoDak apparel tends to appeal to a limited regional market. It is only on a portion of UND apparel.  If we want to buyout contracts, then we should be the ones to write the checks. 
 


 

My main point is we should be using ever effort to milk as much money as possible from the people who support UND. When people have money they want to spend you should make it and take their $$$$! 
 

I get we want to move on from the Sioux but it’s really never going to go away so why not embrace it and make money from it.

There is still ZERO reason they are not selling black or green nodak jerseys. Especially when the normal jerseys are not selling. Even the Sioux shop is selling 2 for 1 jerseys this weekend. Can’t be making very much off of those but still not an incentive for many to buy them. Sell what the people want!

They are probably doing that because of the new apparel deal coming forth (which might bring a whole new design).

They don’t even use a green nodak style jersey, why would they sell one?

Found our guy:

“At the end of the day, it's a big win for this group of 20 players and our staff,” said Green Wave head coach Tyler Palmiscno. “Tomorrow is going to be an exciting day for East Side.”

Palmiscno has definitely gotten results for the Green Wave
