Owner of the cheerleader brand files injunction to stop band from having dancers wearing Cowboys-inspired outfits during violent “Teenagers” sequence<\/p>\n
\n\tMy Chemical Romance<\/a> is facing legal action from the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders over outfits that dancers wore during the band\u2019s recent Hollywood Bowl concert<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tThe group opened their residency at the Los Angeles venue on Wednesday, with the band modifying their performance of \u201cTeenagers\u201d to now include dancers in Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) outfits who then, according to the legal documents, \u201carmed themselves with rifles in a staged firefight, only to be depicted being shot.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tPro Silver Star Ltd., the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brand, quickly sprung to action over the performance, filing for a temporary restraining order and injunction against My Chemical Romance to prevent them from using the DCC costumes onstage; Pro Silver Star at first requested that the band \u201cto stop the infringing use of the DCC Uniform,\u201d but they refused.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAudience members and online commentators understandably believed that the performers were the real Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and said so in social media posts that continue to circulate,\u201d Pro Silver Star wrote in their legal action.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cSilver Star is not litigious, and it takes no issue with MCR\u2019s music, its artistic ambitions, or any message Defendants seek to convey. 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.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n \n\tMy Chemical Romance\u2019s Hollywood Bowl run continued Friday night and, according to video from the show, the Dallas Cowboys-esque cheerleaders were back with in their usual costumes despite the legal action:<\/p>\n \n\tThe band will also perform tonight at the Hollywood Bowl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Owner of the cheerleader brand files injunction to stop band from having dancers wearing Cowboys-inspired outfits during violent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475507,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[102,104,103,91846],"class_list":["post-475506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-dallas","tag-dallas","tag-dallas-headlines","tag-dallas-news","tag-my-chemical-romance"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475506"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475506\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475506"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
