The Philadelphia Eagles may be blocked in their trademark move, according to “Brotherly Shove”?
The Philadelphia Eagles are unquestionably the best when it comes to the “Brotherly Shove” on an NFL field. Could the Philadelphia Eagles’ trademark move, “Brotherly Shove,” be blocked?
But in the realm of business? The Eagles may find themselves blocked, as they do so brilliantly for quarterback Jalen Hurts when they call the nearly unstoppable short-yardage play.
A few trademark applications have been filed on the word, according to a report this week from the Philadelphia Business Journal. These applications are probably all related to the Eagles’ potent quarterback sneak that resembles rugby.

The Eagles obviously wanted to sell items with the word on them, so they submitted a trademark registration on October 10. However, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is still reviewing two further applications: one from Florida’s Lawrence Caplan and one from Inspired Synergy in New Jersey.
However, it should be noted that the government should not base its judgment on “who thought of it first” or even “who is the most high-profile applicant.”
