On this date in area sports history …
Thirteen years ago on this date, March 21, 1996, the News-Sun published a story about Catholic Central High School being forced to change its leprechaun logo by the University of Notre Dame. Complete story on the jump:
NOTRE DAME SAYS LEPRECHAUN MUST GO
By Glen Lincicome and Jim Hays, News-Sun Staff Writers
Catholic Central High School is looking for a few good men.
Uh, make that one green-and-gold short man.
The high school is looking for a new leprechaun logo for its “Fighting Irish” sports teams.
The Rev. Thomas Kreidler, the school’s principal, said the search for a new symbol stems from a demand by the University of Notre Dame that Catholic Central stop using the leprechaun logo, which is the same as the one used by the South Bend, Ind. university.
Notre Dame’s vice president and general counsel, Carol Kaesebier, notified Catholic Central by letter in February that the university has trademark and copyright registrations on the leprechaun design.
In her letter, Kaesebier said Catholic Central and other Catholic schools were being asked to design their own leprechaun, one that does not resemble Notre Dame’s.
“To allow others to use this logo as their own would dilute our rights to the
mark to the point where our proprietary claim would be at risk,'' she said.
Consequently, Central is sponsoring a contest for the creation of a new logo.
The contest is open to all and entries must be submitted no later than May 1.
The designer of the winning logo will be presented $150 and two two-year passes to all home Central sports events. The winner also will be recognized on a plaque in the school.
The prize for second place is $75; third place gets $50.
The winning leprechaun will be chosen by May 15 and be unveiled May 21 during an awards ceremony at the school.
Notre Dame, which granted Central permission to continue to use the term “Irish” in connection with the school, asked that the high school allow Notre Dame to review any new leprechaun design.
Designs must be rendered primarily in the school colors of green and gold and be submitted on paper no smaller than 81/2 by 11 inches.
It must not resemble the Notre Dame logo, the logo of the Boston Celtics or any other copyrighted logo.
Entries should be mailed or delivered to the Rev. Thomas Kreidler, Catholic Central High School, 1200 E. High St., Springfield, Ohio, 45505, before 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 1.
More information about the contest is available from Ann Colliflower, director of development at Central, at 328-7427.
