Story summary

Pro Silver Star Ltd., which owns the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) brand, filed for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against My Chemical Romance (MCR) on October 21, 2026, in Dallas County District Court. The legal action stems from MCR's theatrical concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, where dancers dressed in blue-and-white uniforms similar to the DCC's performed with what appeared to be semi-automatic rifles and engaged in a staged shootout. Pro Silver Star claims this stunt degraded the DCC brand and misled audience members into believing the performers were actual Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
