For instance, sites such as http://www.cincyshirts.com http://www.choplanta.com http://www.cubbytees.com/index.html and so on use well known player names, imagery, colors, etc. on their own designs. In some cases, they use images of players or locations. How is that considered fair use and how do they avoid legal issues with the incredibly contentious MLB? They aren;t necessarily parody, so what workaround do they use? Gracias!

I have a concept, some ideas and a domain - I just don't want to invest time and money just to get sued by some player with no sense of humor. Thus the LLC concept, I reckon.

To me, that one is clearly parody, but it is absolutely over the line design-wise. That said, everyone down here in Barves country knows the difference. These however, seem like they might be using public images too much? Then again, they might very well have deals worked out with Pete and Johnny. http://www.cincyshirts.com/index.php/cincyshirts/every-day-hustle-pete-rose-shirt.html http://www.cincyshirts.com/index.php/cincyshirts/catalogsearch/result/?q=Bench&x=0&y=0

Maybe I'm just naive. It just seems like printing out a shirt with a picture of a player seems like its infringing on someone, somewhere. Regardless, thanks for the comments all. If anyone wants to kick in suggestions about places that offer high quality shirts with decent pricing for small batches, feel free.
