What looked, on the surface, like a clear case of copyright infringement has taken a surprising turn in court, as a judge for the District Court of Delaware has ruled that, because X abandoned both the term "tweet" and the blue bird logo, both are now fair game. In deference to the judge's decision and to pre-empt any further potential legal action, Operation Bluebird has re-rebranded, transforming Twitter.now into Tweet.app , under the tagline "The square is back. And this time, it's yours." Back in 2023, Elon Musk rebranded the platform entirely, nixing the Twitter name and iconic blue bird logo in favor of a simplified X.

The offense was humming early, opening the game with a 7-play, 75-yard drive culminating in a 15-yard touchdown run by CJ Baxter. The Cats scored touchdowns on their next two offensive possessions as well, opening up a 21-0 lead over Youngstown, as Baxter found the end zone again on the ground and Kenny Minchey picked up his first passing touchdown by hitting Mikkel Skinner on a short touchdown pass.

The Penguins were able to get into the end zone with just 20 seconds left in the half, as Kentucky took a 28-7 lead into halftime. The Youngstown offense was able to find some success in the second half with another long drive that resulted in a 9-yard touchdown run, but Minchey tossed two more touchdown passes in the second half, including a beautiful throw to freshman Kenny

Sept. 4, 2026, 9:43 PM UTC Social media platform X Corp. succeeded in an early bid to block a company from using some “Twitter"-related marks. Operation Bluebird — which X’s December complaint said is attempting to “bring back” Twitter by launching a social media app with the same name, color scheme, and blue bird logo — failed in its defense that X had abandoned eight “Twitter-formative” trademarks, Judge Colm F.
