    It appears to me that Wickedstangs is UPGRADING his machine,  He already has a Pcut...He has been a member here since 2009 and has a website selling decals and clothing..He already has his supplies. He is NOT setting up an operation for the first time... He wants a better machine with a servo motor.

     

    I would go with the Graphtec.CE6000-60 if you want to buy new. . more bang for your buck.  FREE stand. Auto registration.  Tracks great, cuts detailed designs great. Quiet, accurate. Great warranty. Holds resale value.

     

    Mz SKEETER good observation.. Yes I am planning on upgrading my PCUT with something new.  I make my members shirts and decals.  I  have notice that sometimes this PCUT misses some areas and I have to cut twice.  I am thinking that the Graphtec would be a good choice.

    The three intellectual property attorneys in this thread agreed and the fourth estate planning half way agreed that you will be covered under fair use on making your own shirt. Can't hire someone to do it for you. This is the same exact advice that I got from an attorney friend who has kids that play on the same team as mine. (I asked him for some pro-bono advice last year)

    Wow, very nice post Thank You.. Make me wonder now.. What if I design a better logo than the above? Its my logo and my design can it still be an infringement to trademark? Still not for sell just my personal use..

     

    Just like BANNER JOHN said..

    I wish I had a dollar for every sports team in this country that called itself the Rebels.

    Copyright probably not but trademark can protect the look of fonts and all sorts of things. Bottom line is whether or not you are going to be selling them for any reason including a fund raiser. Copyright does protect anything that is even inspired by the original or that may confuse a customer into thinking that they are buying an original. 

    Not going to sell them just made one for daughter and was going to make another for wife and I and don't want any issues.  Reason I asked about the font is because, if I leave the font alone and just use it the way it is and instead of joining the L and S can they give me problems..

    Technically, it's a copyright violation. If you base your work on someone else's work, and don't get permission from the copyright holder, then it's an infringement.

    Realistically, many teams love to see fan creations, as long as those creations are not sold. So if you wear the shirt yourself, then usually they'll wink at it. If you start selling those shirts, or even making up a lot of them to give away, then you can expect lawyers to take notice. Sports teams make money from selling tickets, yes...but they also make a LOT of their money from branded merchandise. For instance, I have a jar of pickles in my fridge right now that claims to be the official pickle of a certain well-known football team. I didn't buy the pickles because they're the official brand, but you can bet the pickle makers paid a lot of money to put that logo on their jar.

    Your best bet is to just buy one of the official team shirts.

    Below is what I found on the above logo.
