This Time, Troy Aikman Takes On NFL
By the Associated Press
(August 20, 1996)
IRVING, Texas (AP) - First, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones
battled the NFL over his Nike contract. Now, Cowboys quarterback
Troy Aikman is in a dispute with the league over the Adidas logo.
So far, Aikman has been fined $40,000 by the NFL for wearing
Adidas shoes in the preseason. The shoe manufacturer is not a
licensed NFL Properties sponsor.
Aikman wore the shoes again on Saturday in an exhibition game
with Denver, but had tape over the Adidas logo. The NFL hasn't
said whether Aikman will be fined for that game.
