Well there was a version of The Shield way back in the 40s (before Captain America)

He is, in fact, why Cap's shield is round.

After Captain America came out with his original shield-shaped shield, the people at MLJ (now called Archie) called them up and pointed out that the shield looked awful similar to the costume of the Shield...and then, there's the whole shield/Shield aspect. So, the people at Timely (were they Timely at the time? Can't remember....) changed it to avoid issues.

Also, if you read Archie comics (or at least the digests) in the 80s, they frequently had little 2-page things where all of Archie's superhero characters were arrayed...even though they weren't being used at the time. I suppose it must have been a trademark thing.
