I don't know if that's without risk of being sued.
You don't have to use a trademark to infringe "in likeness".
For example, making a commercial with a football team called "Pigskins" to sell you pork rinds
and dressing the team like the Redskins is not going to fly.
They wouldn't need a trademark on Pigskins to win a suit like that so why would they need a trademark on Redskins?
