Cowboys Cheerleaders Sue My Chemical Romance

The company that owns the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders brand, Pro Silver Star, has initiated legal action against the rock band My Chemical Romance. Filed on October 24, 2026, the lawsuit seeks an injunction to prevent the band from using dancers dressed in the signature DCC uniforms on stage. Recent concert footage reveals My Chemical Romance employing backup dancers adorned in the famous cheerleader attire, complete with pom-poms and prop guns, as part of a skit depicting a fake firefight.

Pro Silver Star argues that the band's use of the uniforms is causing significant damage to the brand's goodwill and reputation. Legal documents emphasize that the core issue is not the performance itself, but the unauthorized use of the specific DCC uniform. The plaintiffs contend that the staged firefight, where the dancers are shown being shot, falsely associates the real Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders with the violent portrayal. This misrepresentation is leading audiences to believe the performers are the actual DCC.

An earlier cease-and-desist letter sent to My Chemical Romance was reportedly ignored, prompting attorney Alex Spiro to take the case to court. The lawsuit specifically targets My Chemical Romance and Live Nation, demanding an immediate halt to the use of the counterfeit uniforms. This legal intervention is sought as the band is scheduled for multiple performances at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles.
