Rivera trademarks "Riverboat Ron" nickname

[KendrickPanther]

The entire Riverboat Ron saga has brought me endless joy.

updated OP but to be clear, Coach did not say anything about trademarking, it was brought up to him and he said, "sounds like a good idea"

 

 

Is it Sunday yet?????

[Shufdog]

Does that mean we can't use it anymore?

Oh my God. I've broken the law!

;)

Hahaha!! Yeah right!!! You know I've got PLENTY of stories!! Should I share them with the class?

[KendrickPanther]

This dude is gangsta. Tearing the tags off his mattress.

Should update the thread title too.

He's only thinking about it at this point. He hasn't done it.

[KendrickPanther]

Looks like he's done it already

No, no Shuf, let's not share anything I might regret.

Ron said he trademarked it right after the NE game, so it's a done deal.

May the Riverboat never run aground...head for open waters!

From the linked article (dated today)

 

The "Riverboat Ron" nickname has become so popular that Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera and his wife are looking for ways to use it to raise money for local charities.

They may even have it trademarked.

 

 

Asked whether he might trademark the name in his effort to use it for charity, Rivera smiled and said, "That's not a bad idea.''

"It's been good,'' he added. "It's kind of taken a life of its own, so if we can use it to do something good, we certainly will.''

 

Jonathan Jones said he's had his attorneys file paperwork on it, but if David Newton is right it sounds like it's not a done deal yet.

If we win the Superbowl and he isn't wearing the tux and the hat at the parade in Charlotte, I'll be extremely disappointed. Lol.

Rivera's not a showy guy, but I admit I'd love it :lol:

 

He'd probably have to be talked into it.  It'd be an ideal thing for a Super Bowl celebration event.

I think a lot of people would.
