The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders have filed a lawsuit against the rock band My Chemical Romance, alleging that the band’s backup dancers wore uniforms resembling the cheerleaders’ trademarked attire. Pro Silver Star, the company that owns the DCC brand, claims the imitation causes irreparable harm to the brand’s reputation. The band’s dancers were seen on stage waving pom‑poms and wearing the distinctive red and white uniform. Silver Star sent a cease‑and‑desist, which the band rejected. The lawsuit seeks an injunction to stop the use of the uniforms during the band’s upcoming Hollywood Bowl performances.
