There has been a lot of attention lately to the Jayne hat from the Firefly episode The Message. FOX has recently sold a license to ThinkGeek, which means that everyone selling them has gotten a cease and desist letter. It seems mostly crazy that it’s been over a decade since the show ended and they have done nothing. The pattern is all over the internet and even without it, a crafter could figure it out all on their own, I know thats what I did. But FOX doesn’t have any rights to the color patter Red-Orange-Yellow. They also have no rights to hats with ear flaps and pompoms. So with that I give you creative uses for the Jayne hat.
At least ThinkGeek is donating the profits to charity.
