: I am finishing up a site football pool ,
site. I am currently applying for the ability to use credit cards on my site. The company is asking, "Are you licensed to use the NFL logos or show NFL and team affiliation?"

: To give you a bit of background, each user picks the team he/she thinks will win. I display the logo of each team.
: Do I need to be licensed to show the logo of the team?
: If I do need to be licensed for the logo, would have I to be licensed if I just use the team name (city-mascot)?

: Thanks,
: Gerald.

Dear Gerald,
The complexity of the situation could not be spelled out here. Without professional responsibility and without research, I believe that you cant be stopped from just using s team name.
