Now that Tom Brady is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer, it’s time to figure out what to slap on a t-shirt so fans in Florida can buy one.
People immediately thought of “TB in TB,” which isn’t bad. But according to a report from Josh Gerben shared by Action Network’s Darren Rovell, Brady’s company filed trademark applications for “TAMPA BRADY,” which is … fine.
And then there’s this one: “TOMPA BAY.”
What? Tompa Bay? No. Noooooo. Nope. I honestly don’t think people are going to buy TOMPA BAY gear. But the funny thing is that the Dan Patrick Show was already selling TOMPA BAY shirts.
Tom Brady's company has filed for two new trademark applications: TOMPA BAY & TAMPA BRADY. He intends to use the phrases on clothing and other merchandise. Filing first uncovered by @JoshGerben. The @dpshow has been selling TOMPA BAY shirts. pic.twitter.com/QzQM7FvDEq

This is all so ridiculous, and here’s some reaction:
Brady’s Agent: Tomassee Titans?
Brady: No
BA: Toms Angelas Chargers?
Brady: No
BA: Miami Tomphins?
Brady: No
BA: Tompa Bay?
Brady: *snaps fingers* THAT’s where I’m going. https://t.co/BwWFNxQ4AC

Anyone who wears a "Tompa Bay" shirt deserves to be shunned from society https://t.co/JeYk1vYa0b

If you’re a friend who now refers to Tampa Bay as “Tompa Bay” because of Tom Brady just know that our friendship is cancelled effective immediately.

Tompa Bay? Good god Brady’s lost a step. I’ll be shocked if his noodle arm can even reach Mike Evans 30 yards downfield https://t.co/fJkXxpHzjo

I think @nbcsnl may already have the trademarking rights for TOMPA BAY. Sorry @TomBrady #classicsketch pic.twitter.com/OtqRbx7gHG
