My Chemical Romance has agreed to stop using costumes resembling the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' uniforms during its Hollywood Bowl shows, following a lawsuit filed by Silver Star Ltd., the parent company of the cheer squad. The legal action was initiated after performances on October 21, 2026, in which backup dancers wore star-spangled outfits similar to the iconic royal blue and white uniforms in a staged gun battle. The band was scheduled to perform at the venue on October 30 and Halloween as part of its 20th-anniversary tour for The Black Parade. An emergency hearing set for October 28 in Collin County, Texas, was canceled after both parties reached an agreement, with My Chemical Romance agreeing to change the costumes while the case remains pending.
The lawsuit originally named both the band and concert promoter Live Nation, but Live Nation was later dropped as a defendant. Silver Star, represented by lawyer Alex Spiro, argued that the use of the uniforms in a violent context could damage the brand and mislead fans.
