Cooper High School, located in Abilene, Texas, has been asked to change its logo since it is very similar to Washington State's. The Cougars are working with the school to help them change the logo so it doesn't break any copyright laws.
This is the second time in 3 years that the state of Washington has fought with the state of Texas. In 2005 Texas A&M claimed the Seahawks stole their 12th man theme. Eventually, they settled out of court, with Seattle maintaining the rights to the 12th man in the NFL and Texas A&M having them in college.

This time there will be no compromise. Cooper High School has to change their logo, which is going to very costly for them. Looking at the logos, they are very similar and chances are the person who designed the Copper logo used WSU's as a reference. Should they have to change it? We don't know, and frankly, we could care less. Its just interesting to see what people do for a living, hunt down bastard high schools who steal logos from prominent universities.
