You can just trademark shit that easy? What would happen if say I had trademarked the phrase last year, Pat Riley and co. would pay me to use that on merch? How can you trademark something like that though, wtf..

Pat Riley has owned the trademark for years. Not news.

"However, Riles & Co., the corporate entity of National Basketball Association (NBA) coach Pat Riley, submitted in November 1988 a trademark application for the use of three-peat on shirts, jackets and hats. At the time, the phrase was being used by members and fans of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team, of whom Riley was the head coach, regarding the Lakers' quest that season to obtain what would have been a third successive NBA championship. According to Riley, it was Laker player Byron Scott who coined the term in reference to the team's goal for that season."

This trademark is for Heat exclusive merchandise, numbnuts.

By the way, Riley made coin of all those Lakers and Bulls merchandise. He's had "3peat" trademarked since the 80's
