Default MLB to little league: you cant use our names

didnt see this posted already, and maybe it belongs in the other sports forum (mods feel free to move if necessary)
Major league baseball threatened to sue a jersey manufacturer for supplying little league teams with jerseys that featured the names of MLB teams. As such all teams will be called "the bulldogs" with the only distinction between them, being the city they are from

Because the Bulldogs' uniforms didn't feature official major league team logos, neither the league nor its uniform supplier, SportStation of Tinley Park, had paid a licensing fee for the uniforms.
Late last year, SportStation received a letter from MLB, noting that not only the logos but the team names were trademarked. The letter ordered the company to stop producing the uniforms.
