TAMPA BAY, FL – Immediately after signing a 2-year deal worth $50 million with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 6-time Super Bowl champion quarterback Tom Brady successfully trademarked “TB x TB x TB” with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

“Tom Brady. Tampa Bay. Tuberculosis. It’s perfect really,” explained coach Bruce Arians, who is currently PPD negative. “I never thought the three could unite. I can’t underscore how much I look forward to working closely with Tom.”

Brady’s agent learned earlier today that the trademark application had been approved by the USPTO, which effectively gives them the green light to use “TB x TB x TB” on merchandise such as T-shirts, jerseys, hats, N95 respirators, home oxygen, rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, and ethambutol.
