Printing a college, team or brand logo? Bring the owner's permission

When we can print someone else's logo

The authorization form

Our two-page fillable PDF records who owns each mark in your design and the owner's permission. You fill in Part A and B; the owner signs Part C, or you attach its written permission. If you are the owner, tick the first box and sign.

Without permission

Fans of a college or professional team can still look the part: we design an original shirt in your team's colors with your group's own name, with no official logos, mascots, wordmarks or player names. See fan club shirts.

Every DYEWAVE shirt carries a small DYEWAVE mark on the sleeve and at the back neck, as shown. Everything else is printed exactly from the proof you approve.

Universities and licensing offices

Most universities manage their names and logos through a licensing or trademark office, and many require departments and student organizations to use approved vendors or to get approval for each order. Ask your office what it needs; we complete the form and send the proof for its review if required.

Logos you send must be yours to use

We print your own logo, artwork and names. For college, school, team, league and brand marks, that means the owner's written permission for your order. We do not print logos of professional teams, colleges or other brands without written permission from the owner.

How ordering works

1. Send your design and the formArtwork plus the signed authorization form, or an idea for an original design via our free design service.
2. Send sizesSizes per design, and names or numbers if you want them.
3. Approve the digital proofNothing is printed until you approve it, and any design or fabric-color problem is flagged here.
4. Production: 5–10 daysYour design is sublimated into the polyester, every shirt with its own name or number if you sent them.
5. Air delivery: about 9 daysShipped to your US door with duties paid, so nothing is due on arrival.

Pricing

All-over sublimation shirts, priced per design: your full design seam to seam, with names and numbers if you want them.

DDP means air shipping and US import duties are included, with nothing extra to pay when the box arrives. Design help and the digital proof are free.

Simpler option, logo customization: if you only need your logo printed or embroidered on a shirt, that is $18 per shirt for 10–49, also delivered duty paid, with a 10-shirt minimum per design.

Timing

After you approve the digital proof, production takes 5–10 days, then about 9 days by air, so shirts typically arrive 14–19 days after approval. Approvals can take time: start the permission request when you start the design. Use the deadline calculator to find the last day to approve your proof.

Honest limits

Sublimation only works on polyester, so we do not make cotton shirts. Sublimation inks are transparent, so designs look brightest on white and light fabrics; we flag any design and fabric color that will not work at the proof stage. The minimum is 15 shirts per design for all-over sublimation, and 10 per design for logo customization. Marks owned by others are printed only with the owner's written permission. We may confirm the permission with the owner before production.
