PROSTYLE REFUTES NFL PROPERTIES OVER USE OF PACKER MARKS

          WI-based ProStyle Inc. denied it has marketed apparel
     unfairly using Packers trademarks in response to the Packers
     and NFL Properties filing suit alleging the firm was
     illegally selling Packers merchandise, according to Dave
     Daley in the MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL.  ProStyle Attorney
     John Fredrickson said in papers filed in federal court in
     Milwaukee that the Packers and NFL were "distorting facts"
     to give the impression that ProStyle is selling "knockoff"
     apparel through the unauthorized use of Packers products. 
     Fredrickson: "The Packers have no registered trademark
     rights in the colors green and gold, the words Green Bay or
     the numbers worn by particular Green Bay Packers when in
     uniform."  ProStyle's Sherri Tanner, who is also named in
     the suit, said ProStyle has more than one dozen Packers
     players under contract, including Reggie White, Mark Chmura
     and Don Beebe (MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL, 12/18).
