LLWS Uniform Question

[tjones1]

I'd be more concerned about the players. I wonder if they have permission from MLB to use those names. Wasn't there an article about a league in the Chicago area and they were getting sued because they were using pro team names and logos for their league.

I can understand using the logos, but I doubt MLB has a copyright of any team names. After call, the bird were called "cardinals" long before it became a team name.

The trouble was the supplier of the uniforms. Someone was printing those shirts at a local shop, and not going through the correct channels to attain them (Majestic holds those rights). The league was saving a few bucks by buying counterfeit shirts, and got caught for it.

My league doesn't do that.
