On February 3, 2008, the New England Patriots lost in the Super Bowl. They finished the year 18-1. They were not undefeated. Since they had filed trademark applications for the phrases "19-0" and "19-0 The Perfect Season" before losing that game, one would assume that they would then withdraw those apps, right? Not if you're the New England G-D Patriots, you don't!
Not only did they not withdraw those apps, they are still amending them, as recently as April 11 as a matter of fact. The Patriots tweaked their original United States Patent and Trademark Office filings to correct a misspelling. The team wanted to make it clear that they seek to sell toy banks, not "toy bans."
So I guess they plan to go 19-0 in 2008-2009 then?

They have a right to dream don't they? Plus, who wants to trademark 18-1? LoL
Maybe they expect some team to, and they want to make sure they have it covered.
Come on, it's no different than Pat Riley trademarking the word "Threepeat" even though his Lakers never actually pulled it off, and he ended up cashing in when the Bulls went back-to-back-to-back in the early '90s.
