There is a very valid reason to trademark it. To prevent others from using it. I have seen advertisements for pro-Giants t shirts that say "19-0 DENIED."

If the Krafts get the trademarks such shirts could arguably be a trademark infringement and the Krafts could block the shirts from being sold or demand all the profits. (I doubt the Krafts would license such a shirt)

It's fine that the Bulls or Lakers did it b/c they actually won.

The Lakers did not do it when Riley trademarked it.

[sarcasm]Damn you NE Patriots! How dare you suggest you will someday go undefeated for an entire season despite getting 95%+ to that goal just last year.[/sarcasm]

Aaaaand why shouldn't anyone be able to use it if they actually GO 19-0?

They're already in the process, and it's valuable IP to have. Why not just finish the job and get it?
