Of the NFL teams whose names and logos are used in the upcoming HBO series Ballers, the Dolphins’ names and logos appear most prominently. But like the league, the Dolphins no comment on the matter.
“HBO is always mindful of other intellectual property owners, but in this context there is no legal requirement to obtain their consent,” an HBO spokesman told PFT on Sunday.
On Monday night, the Dolphins informed PFT that the team has no comment at this time.
In the show, four episodes of which PFT has gotten an advance look at, the Dolphins appears prominently in both name and logo, from the opening scene onward.
