The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders<\/a> are seeing red after the band My Chemical Romance allegedly fooled fans with lookalikes wearing their signature blue-and-white uniforms during a bloody staged shootout at the group’s sold-out Hollywood Bowl concert.<\/p>\n

Pro Silver Star Ltd., the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC), filed for a temporary restraining order and temporary injunction against My Chemical Romance<\/a> (MCR) Friday.<\/p>\n

The legal documents, obtained by the California Post, accused MCR of degrading the DCC brand.<\/p>\n

MCR staged “The Black Parade,” a theatrical concert<\/a> set in a fictional dictatorship featuring pyrotechnics and simulated gun battles at the Hollywood Bowl<\/a> on October 21, 2026.<\/p>\n

During the performance, female dancers dressed in blue and white uniforms, similar to those of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, appeared onstage carrying rifles before being gunned down in a staged shootout, according to the lawsuit filed by attorney Alex Spiro.<\/p>\n

“The costumed performers armed themselves with semi-automatic rifles and joined a staged firefight, and were then depicted being shot and crawling off the stage,” according to documents.<\/p>\n

The papers claim the stunt fooled concertgoers and social media users into believing the performers were actual Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, sparking online posts that continue to circulate.<\/p>\n

“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 documents said.<\/p>\n

“The universe of alternative costume designs is effectively unlimited,” the filing continued.<\/p>\n

DCC’s legal filing also included a side-by-side comparison of an official cheerleader uniform and one worn during the concert, along with social media screenshots of fans who appeared to mistake the performers for real Cowboys cheerleaders.<\/p>\n

A cease-and-desist letter was sent to MCR on October 22, and the petition says defendants continued anyway. The documents also mention the DCC uniform is federally registered.<\/p>\n

MCR has additional shows coming up at The Hollywood Bowl on Oct. 23, Oct. 24, Oct. 30 and Oct. 31.<\/p>\n
