达拉斯牛仔队啦啦队品牌方起诉My Chemical Romance：指好莱坞露天剧场演出仿冒制服，要求法院下禁令
达拉斯牛仔队啦啦队（Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders）品牌的所有方 Pro Silver Star Ltd. 已向法院申请临时限制令与临时禁令，要求摇滚乐队 My Chemical Romance 停止在其演出中使用与该啦啦队标志性制服高度相似的服装。据 TheWrap 10月24日报道，诉状指控乐队此举贬损了啦啦队品牌；该公司由律师 Alex Spiro 代理，诉讼在达拉斯提起，同时索赔金额未具体说明的金钱赔偿。
争议源于10月21日乐队在洛杉矶（Los Angeles）Hollywood Bowl 举行的《The Black Parade》驻场演出首场。诉状称，这场演出设定在虚构的独裁政权背景下、带有烟火与武装冲突情节；在演唱《Teenagers》时，女舞者身穿该啦啦队的制服上台，「随后拿起步枪卷入一场舞台上的交火，并被描绘成中枪」。诉状称，现场观众与网上评论者「理所当然地以为这些表演者就是真正的达拉斯牛仔队啦啦队」，相关说法在社交媒体上持续流传。
Pro Silver Star 在诉状中表示，该公司先于10月22日向乐队发出停止使用函，但乐队拒绝停止使用涉案制服。诉状写道：「Silver Star 并不好讼，对 MCR 的音乐、艺术野心或其想传达的任何信息都没有意见。它不要求被告更改曲目、叙事、政治立场、编舞，甚至不要求取消持枪表演者上台——它只要求这些表演者不要穿着这套制服登台。可选的替代服装设计实际上是无限的。」诉状还主张，这套制服是受联邦注册保护的商业外观，未经许可任何人不得使用；该品牌称其半个多世纪来一直投入维护这一制服的辨识度。
My Chemical Romance 由 Gerard Way、Ray Toro、Mikey Way 与 Frank Iero 组成，乐队代表未立即回应 TheWrap 的置评请求。据 Rolling Stone 报道，身穿涉案服装的舞者在周五晚的 Hollywood Bowl 演出中再次登台。乐队此次驻场共五场、门票售罄，后续场次仍在进行。法院是否会在驻场结束前作出紧急裁定，将决定这套造型能否继续出现在剩余场次中。（GSM 据 TheWrap 与《纽约邮报》报道）

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' Brand Owner Sues My Chemical Romance Over Lookalike Uniforms at Hollywood Bowl Show
Pro Silver Star Ltd., the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brand, has asked a court for a temporary restraining order and a temporary injunction to stop rock band My Chemical Romance from using costumes closely resembling the cheerleaders' signature uniform in its shows. According to TheWrap's October 24 report, the filing accuses the band of degrading the cheerleaders' brand; the company, represented by attorney Alex Spiro, brought the action in Dallas and is also seeking unspecified monetary damages.
The dispute stems from the opening night of the band's 'The Black Parade' residency at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 21. The filing says the show is a theatrical production set in a fictional dictatorship, featuring pyrotechnics and armed conflict, and that during 'Teenagers,' female dancers took the stage in the cheerleaders' uniform and 'then armed themselves with rifles in a staged firefight, only to be depicted being shot.' The filing says audience members and online commentators 'understandably believed that the performers were the real Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,' and that such posts continue to circulate on social media.
Pro Silver Star says it first sent the band a cease-and-desist letter on October 22, but the band refused to stop using the uniforms. 'Silver Star is not litigious, and it takes no issue with MCR's music, its artistic ambitions, or any message Defendants seek to convey,' the filing says. 'Silver Star does not ask Defendants to change their setlist, narrative, politics, choreography, or even their decision to put gun-toting performers on stage. Silver Star asks only that those performers not wear the DCC Uniform while doing it. The universe of alternative costume designs is effectively unlimited.' The filing also argues that the uniform is protectable trade dress under a federal registration that no one may use without permission, and says the brand has invested for more than half a century in the uniform's recognizability.
My Chemical Romance consists of Gerard Way, Ray Toro, Mikey Way and Frank Iero; a representative for the band did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment. Rolling Stone reported that the costumed dancers returned for the band's Friday-night Hollywood Bowl performance. The residency runs five sold-out shows, and whether a court rules on the emergency request before it ends will decide whether the costumes can appear in the remaining performances.
