Patriots file for 'Blitz for Six' trademark image

The New England Patriots are already making celebration plans for next season, as the team has filed to trademark the phrase “Blitz for Six,” according to ESPN.com.

The filing was made last Tuesday (US time), two days after the Patriots claimed their fifth Super Bowl championship with a 34-28 overtime win against the Falcons.

Filing trademarks for phrases they plan to put on merchandise is nothing new for the Patriots, ESPN notes.

The week before Super Bowl 51, the team filed to trademark "Ignore The Noise."  In recent seasons, the team has trademarked "Do Your Job" and "We are all Patriots,” and The Kraft Group, the parent company of the team, has trademarked "19-0" and "Perfect Season."

Their recent “Blitz for Six” filing does not seem overly ambitious. According to betting odds at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Patriots are the 5-to-1 favorites to repeat next season.

A sixth title for the Patriots would tie them with the Steelers for most in NFL history. The Cowboys and 49ers also have five Super Bowl championships apiece.
