A rock band called "The Slants" is singing the Supreme Court's praises after it ruled on Monday that a law forbidding the registration of an offensive trademark is unconstitutional.

The justices ruled 8-0 that a 71-year-old trademark law banning disparaging terms infringes on freedom of speech.

The group's success even after the U.S. Patent and Trademark office said it couldn't trademark their name because it is disparaging toward Asian Americans, may turn out to be a win for the NFL's Washington Redskins.

The NFL organization doesn't have a trademark on their name because of the same law that says you cannot obtain a trademark that is disparaging against a group of people.

An attorney for the Redskins said the team was thrilled with the court's decision. Team owner Dan Snyder echoed the sentiment in a statement to CSN, saying, "I am THRILLED! Hail to the Redskins."

The Trademark office stripped the team's trademark back in 2014, saying its name was offensive to Native Americans.
