Vikings apply for trademarks after miracle win
If Stefon Diggs' remarkable touchdown in last weekend's divisional-playoff game becomes part of all-time NFL lore, the Minnesota Vikings want to own it.
Or at least the name.
On Monday, the day after the remarkable 61-yard play that resulted in a five-point victory over the New Orleans Saints and a trip to the NFC Championship Game, the team filed for three trademarks to the phrase "Minneapolis Miracle" and one to "Minnesota Miracle."
The filings showed up Friday in electronic records published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
The Vikings seek to own the monikers on more than 100 items, including football helmets, watches, golf bags, bowling bags, bathing suits and parkas.
The team is selling a T-shirt with "Minneapolis Miracle 1-14-18." Diggs, with T-shirt seller Represent, began selling an NFLPA-licensed shirt with his image and the words "Minneapolis Miracle" on Wednesday.
More than 1,000 shirts were sold online within the first 48 hours.
