Legal Jam sounds petty to me. They picked a name that will always remind of this situation of which many of their fans side with Pearl Jam. I would pick a different name that isn’t built on a negative situation and move on.
Some better ones I’ve heard suggested here and elsewhere: Mookie Blaylockk (this would have been brilliant and I think legally they could actually get away with this) Yield 5 against 1

Should've changed it into In A Jam because that's where they ended up with all this tomfoolery. Yet, they are technically IN a Legal Jam, but I sure wouldn't wear that on a shirt.
Just awful. Between the ridiculous original band name with the two M's, their whiny "you broke our hearts" letter, and this new name, they're just embarrassing themselves.
That whole episode is pathetic. Try setting up a tribute band called "Metallicaa" and sell merchandise under that and see how it works out. Surprised they've gotten away with it for this long.

OG Legal Jam is the subset of Ten Clubbers who are always threatening to sue over the missing singles
A lot of hyperbole and falsehoods in this sentence. Who would these several Ten Clubbers be? What do you mean by "always"?
Your post does though include the classic MO of the subset of Ten Clubbers who are always ready to throw other Ten Clubbers under the bus in their classic "PLEASE DADDY LOOK AT ME! I'M A GOOD BOY!" way.

Just be grateful you made it 8 pages without any t-shirt bootlegging jabs

What a slow news cycle this must be. The amount of attention this is getting is mind blowing.
Right?! Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill. Admit you screwed up, change your name to something less lame than Legal Jam, take down the merch and move on. End of story.

is this the first time in history a tribute act put out a "statement"? LOL
I can understand Pearl Jam's management and lawyer's etc having an issue with Pearl Jamm but why (if true) has the band instigated this? Disappointed. If anything Tribute bands only enhance the Pearl Jam brand. Tribute bands can generate more fans of the actual genuine band or even get casual fans going to more gigs, former fans returning to the band they once loved, buying more merch etc. Petty if you ask me. I really hope this is a management and legal matter rather than the band wanting it dealt with.

They seem to be totally cool with the myriad other tribute bands who weren't dumb enough to name themselves Pearl Jamm and sell stickman t-shirts
