In 1996, Myron Cope gave the ownership of The Terrible Towel trademark to Allegheny Valley School. Since then, the royalties from the sale of all officially licensed “Terrible Stuff” (including towels, ties, ornaments, lapel pins, flags, bibs, mugs, temporary tattoos, and more) have come to Merakey AVS.
