My Chemical Romance have reportedly reached an agreement with the company behind the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders over costumes used in the band’s theatrical stage production. According to a report published by TMZ on October 27, the group has agreed not to use uniforms resembling the cheerleading team’s recognisable outfits at future concerts.
The disputed scene is part of the band’s elaborate live show and features performers dressed as cheerleaders. The stage action includes a fictional shootout with prop weapons and theatrical effects. The company argued that the costumes could cause viewers to associate the routine with its cheerleading brand.
TMZ reports that the parties reached an understanding before a scheduled court hearing. Under the reported terms, My Chemical Romance may retain the cheerleader characters and choreography but must stop dressing performers in outfits resembling those of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
The report does not establish that a court reached a final finding of trademark infringement. Neither side’s complete written agreement has been made publicly available in the material reviewed, and no independently verified joint statement detailing the terms was located.
For fans, the reported change would affect the visual presentation rather than the music or the band’s planned performances. It remains to be seen exactly how the costumes will look when the show continues.
