1. Our intellectual property
All content on the site, including the Jerzee name and JZ speed-slash logo, our jersey designs and layouts (such as the placement of a name over a number, our stripe, yoke and fade patterns), our own colour names such as Night Black, Blaze Red and Floodlight White, product photos and illustrations, product descriptions, policy and help pages, graphics, page layout and code, is owned by Jerzee or used under licence.

4. Our trademarks
Jerzee and the JZ logo are our trademarks. Any other names or marks that appear on the site belong to their owners, and their appearance does not mean they endorse us or that we are connected to them.
5. Respecting other people’s rights
Our jerseys and fan wear use our own original layouts and generic colourways. We are not connected to, sponsored by or endorsed by any professional, college or amateur league, club, team, player or sports brand, and our products are not replicas of any team’s uniform. We do not use real team, league, club, college, player or brand names or logos in our product names, colour names, descriptions or images, and we do not print them on customer orders.
If we learn that a product, image or page may infringe someone’s rights, we review it promptly and remove or change it when appropriate.
6. Text customers type into a jersey
Our custom products have fields for a name on the back, a number, and on some styles optional front or chest text and sleeve numbers. These fields are for your own name, a family name, a nickname or the name of a side you and your friends made up. When you type text, you confirm that you have the right to use it.
- We do not print the names, nicknames, slogans or logos of real professional, college or league teams or clubs.
- We do not print a real player’s name together with that player’s team colours or number in order to imitate their uniform.
- We do not print brand names, trademarks or characters that belong to someone else.
- We do not accept logo or image uploads for printing.
If an order’s text appears to break these rules, we email you to ask for different text, and if we cannot agree, we cancel the order and refund it in full. Because we do not send a proof before production, we may not catch every case; responsibility for the text stays with the customer who typed it.
7. Local sides, rec leagues and organisers
If you organise a local rec side, a company hockey day or a backyard football league, you probably made up your own name. You are welcome to type that name in the optional front or chest field like any other customer, as long as it is genuinely your own and does not imitate a professional or college team’s name.
8. Blank jerseys
Our blank jerseys ship with no name, no number and no logo. What you do with them afterwards is your responsibility; if you add artwork yourself, please respect other people’s rights in the same way.
Questions about names, numbers and logos
Can I put my own surname on the back?
Yes. That is exactly what the name field is for. Up to 12 characters, printed in capitals.
Can I use the number my favourite player wears?
Numbers from 0 to 99 are not owned by anyone, so you can choose any of them. What we will not do is combine a real player’s name with that player’s team colours and number to imitate their uniform.
My family has a nickname for our backyard football games. Can that go on the chest?
Yes, if the style has the optional front or chest field and the nickname is your own. If it happens to match a professional or college team name, we will ask you to choose something else.
Why are your colours called Night Black or Turf Green instead of team colours?
Because we design our own colourways and do not copy any club’s look. Using generic colour names keeps it clear that our jerseys are not connected to any real team.
Can I send you a logo or crest to print?
No. We do not accept logo or image uploads for printing. Our custom fields take text and numbers only.
Can I order a jersey with a cartoon character or a brand slogan?
No. Characters, slogans and brand names belong to their owners, so we do not print them, even when typed as plain text.
Is my order a replica of a team uniform?
No. Our styles are our own layouts. They share general shapes that every football, baseball or hockey jersey has, such as shoulder stripes, a button placket or a lace-up collar, but they are not copies of any team’s uniform and carry no team marks.
I run a small shop. Can I resell Jerzee jerseys?
You may resell items you bought, but you may not use our photos, descriptions or name to advertise them as if you were Jerzee, and you may not copy our designs to make your own products.
I found a site using Jerzee photos. What should I do?
Please email the link to support@jerzee.shop with the subject “IP concern”. It helps us protect our work and stops shoppers being misled.
Why we take this seriously
Sports fans care about names and logos, and so do the people who own them. Keeping real team marks off our products protects those owners, protects you from buying something that should not exist, and keeps our own designs clearly ours. It also means that every Jerzee jersey tells one story: the name and number you chose.
How we check our own catalogue
Before a product goes on the site, we check its name, colour names, description and image notes for real team, league, club, college, player and brand names. Product images are made for us as plain product shots on a white background, and any back-view image shows invented example names and numbers only. Example names you see in our pages and images, such as VANCE 12 or LINDQVIST 44, are made up and do not refer to real players.
When we write new product pages, help articles or policies, we apply the same rule. If you notice something on the site that you think breaks it, please tell us; we would rather fix it than leave it.
Your text and our production partner
Our production partner prints the text from your order exactly as it arrives. They do not change spelling, add marks or decide what is allowed; that review happens with us before an order goes to production when we spot a problem, and with you when you type the text. If our partner flags text that looks like a protected name or logo, we pause the order and email you before anything is printed.
Reports about text on an order
If you are a rights owner and believe a Jerzee item carrying customer-typed text infringes your rights, include the order details you have, such as a photo of the item and where you saw it, in your report. We will review it in the same way as any other IP concern, and we may refuse future orders that repeat the same text.
Mistakes we make
If we get something wrong, for example a product name or image that comes too close to someone else’s design, we will correct it as soon as we know. Rights owners can reach us at any time by email, and we will tell them what we changed and when.
Personal use of what you buy
A jersey you bought is yours to wear, gift, photograph and share. These rules are about copying our designs and content, not about how you enjoy the items you own.
No affiliation
For clarity: Jerzee is an independent shop. We do not supply any league or team, we hold no licence from any of them, and nothing on this site should be read as a claim of endorsement. Words such as football, baseball and hockey describe the kind of jersey, not a connection to any organisation.
9. How to report an intellectual property concern
Email support@jerzee.shop with the subject “IP concern” and include:
- Your name and contact details, and your relationship to the rights owner.
- The right you believe is infringed, for example a trademark registration number or a description of the design.
- The URL of each product or page concerned.
- A short explanation of why you believe it infringes, and a statement that the information you provide is accurate.
For copyright specifically, please follow the process on our DMCA page.
10. What happens next
We acknowledge your report within 24 hours on business days and review it as quickly as we can. If it is valid, we remove or change the content and let you know. If we need more information, we ask before we decide. We may also share your report, without your personal contact details where the law allows, with the person whose content is affected so they can respond.
11. Ideas and feedback
Customers sometimes suggest a new colour, a new stripe layout or a better way to fit a long surname across the shoulders. If you send us ideas, we may use them freely without paying you, but we will never publish your personal information without your permission.
12. Permission requests and contact
To ask for permission to use our content, or for any question about this policy, email support@jerzee.shop. See also our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
