Ok, a good friend of my father owns a printing shop up in Michigan, and I got to thinking how cool it would be to have sweatshirts or something made (In white, yellow, and black ) with the Type R logo on the back and car number over the chest-pocket area.

I could do a possible group buy if anyone was interested in something like this, I really have no idea how much they would run or anything like that, I just have the hookup, and would personally like a cool Type R zippered sweatshirt to replace my current NIU beat up sweatshirt I wear everywhere.

The question is, if I did a small run of these sweatshirts what royalty issues would be involved? I don't want Honda to come sue my *** for printing up 20 Type R sweatshirts... Does anyone have any idea what legalities are involved in something like this? I wouldn't be making any money off them, so it would be pretty lame to get in any trouble, but I remember when the Honda lawyers tried to shut down H-T for using the Honda name... better safe than sorry.

What do you guys think?

 

Everyone else is doing it, so I don't see why you can't.

 

Ehh, yeah I know... But I don't think I've ever gotten out of trouble in my life going "but everyone else does it!!!"

 

a customized baseball cap with our R number will be a great idea..

 

I'll buy one if everything is not going to come off in the washer. I had some cool t-shirts that turned into plain white ones after a couple washes.

 

Oh no no, these would be silkscreened like real shirts you buy at the store or whatever

 

I dont see why putting "Type R" on anything would be a problem. Type R can mean anything, although putting "Integra Type R" is where it would technically become a problem, but I say go for it anyway.

 

I'd really like to see something like that, maybe the actual Number plate (pic of) on the hat...
