COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) – Texas A&M has filed a federal lawsuit against the NFL’s Indianapolis Colts that university officials say is meant to protect their 12th Man trademark. The lawsuit is intended to protect the phrase “Home of the 12th Man” and variations of it that the university contends have brought its fan base “national renown.” A&M previously sued the Seattle Seahawks for infringing on the trademark and the two sides reached a settlement.
