My Chemical Romance is being sued by the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brand after performing with dancers dressed in outfits spoofing the cheerleaders’ uniforms at the Hollywood Bowl this week. Pro Silver Star Ltd., the owner of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brand, has requested a temporary restraining order and temporary injunction against My Chemical Romance, accusing the band of degrading its brand. The moment occurred during My Chemical Romance’s first of five sold-out The Black Parade shows at the Hollywood Bowl on October 21st.
The filing by Pro Silver Star Ltd. stated that during the performance of “Teenagers,” dancers dressed in outfits resembling the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders’ uniforms took the stage, initially performing choreography before taking up rifles to protect My Chemical Romance from militarized forces. The company argued that audience members and online commentators believed that the performers were the real Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and said so in social media posts that continue to circulate.
The Lawsuit Details
According to the filing, “On Oct. 21, 2026, Defendants staged ‘The Black Parade,’ a theatrical concert production set in a fictional dictatorship and featuring pyrotechnics and armed conflict.” Pro Silver Star Ltd. added that “female performers took to the stage in the DCC Uniform—and then armed themselves with rifles in a staged firefight, only to be depicted being shot.” The company emphasized that it is not litigious and does not take issue with My Chemical Romance’s music or artistic ambitions, but rather with the use of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniform in the performance.
Pro Silver Star Ltd. stated that “Silver Star is not litigious, and it takes no issue with MCR’s music, its artistic ambitions, or any message Defendants seek to convey. Silver Star does not ask Defendants to change their setlist, narrative, politics, choreography, or even their decision to put gun-toting performers on stage. Silver Star asks only that those performers not wear the DCC Uniform while doing it. The universe of alternative costume designs is effectively unlimited.” The company is seeking a temporary restraining order, temporary injunction, and unspecified monetary damages against My Chemical Romance.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the lawsuit filed by Pro Silver Star Ltd. against My Chemical Romance highlights the importance of respecting intellectual property and trademarks. The use of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniform in the performance has been deemed degrading to the brand, and the company is seeking justice to protect its rights. As the case unfolds, it will be interesting to see how the court rules on the matter and what implications it may have for future performances by My Chemical Romance and other artists.
