Do football kits come under copyright

[GoldRapt]

Depends on the team I reckon

I seen football team pee on each other which is not copyright. My kits are in this format but not peeing) its a shirt and shorts socks ect past and present in the teams colours, so all teams I suppose.

Is it just colours or logos as well? The logos are copyright.

[GoldRapt]

Do you have pictures of this peeing?

[jennywren]

I don't do the image peeing but I use to sell football stickers that did I thinks these was pee ons some company in Wales, they sold really well but it was cost quite a bit to keep it top up you had to keep all the teams in case someone wanted it, but three years we changed direction becuse people was spending less and we cut down the number of lines we did. But for anyone else thats looking for a new line these did well for us, the board we had to display them was huge. So its only the kits, if no one is sure I'll check with the trading standards chap he's always helpful. (Its true they are there to help us)

Careful folks
i produced a mug with man u on it and red back ground i genuinely thought that wasnt copyright. How wrong was i . A less than polite letter from the clubs legal bods asked me to remove the item from sale or else. Basically any thing more or less with any combination of manchester united is copy right including man u, mufc, manchester, and on and on in other words the clubs pretty much have it sown up. though im fairly sure you can reproduce teams kits in team colours but no badges or text

Thats how I read it but get confused as the lines cross very finely, I had a friend who had a unit selling childrens clothes and she brought form a wholesale some look alike bob the builder and woolies had the copyright and sent in the trading standards, they came with a big van and took loads of stock that was not related to that, long and short she brought legit but it was her stock they took, she got most of them back but the look alike bob the builder stuffed stayed with them, took months to sort out and she lost money. She brought for a large whole seller with a good name. A whole sale chap has asked to do his mug and mousemats, he'll be giving me the images but I just did't want to caught out doing wrongand not knowing it.
