School superintendent said the rift over copyright ended without resolution.
This Hornets uniform was worn in the 2013 boys hockey Class AA state tournament championship game won by Edina.
Edina Public Schools' longtime green-and-yellow hornet logo is heading toward extinction, the district's superintendent announced Thursday.
The reluctant decision by the district came after the owner of the copyright to the logo, an Edina High School alum, sued this week in federal court. The suit added hefty financial compensation to his insistence that school administrators put the brakes on its use without his permission, as required by the decades-old contract he has with the district.
Superintendent Stacie Stanley said in her announcement that the district tried in numerous ways to retain the logo but failed to find a solution that was satisfactory to longtime rights holder Michael Otto, who raised objections months ago when he sent a "cease and desist" order last spring objecting to the image being used for profit by a third-party apparel retailer without his sign-off.
