Former Jets Employee Files Lawsuit Over Iconic Throwback Logo

Jim Pons claims ownership of the design, seeks compensation and trademark cancellation.

Jim Pons, ex-Jets film and video director, alleges he created the logo in the 1970s.
The Jets and NFL have used the logo intermittently since 1978 and plan to use it permanently in 2024.
Pons argues the logo was made outside his job scope and demands payment for its use.
The Jets dismiss the lawsuit, calling it baseless and without merit.
Pons seeks unspecified damages and a court order to stop the logo's use without his consent.
