    Hello I am looking to sell stuff watches, shirts, ect... and want to use collage sports teams logo. I know that this is illegal but wondering if I changed the color, shape, ect... if there were ways to make it legal. Anyone have any advice on this. I know people can knock off nikes logo and make it legal by changing the slope of the swoosh and stuff like that. Wondering if it applies to sports teams too. Also if I were to just use the name lets say Oregon Ducks. Would that be legal???
    Thanks,
    Noc

    No, it isn't legal. Making a minor change to the Nike logo (slope of the swoosh) isn't legal either.
