Team Logo Fair-Use Rationale
Logos of an organization, item, or event are protected by copyright and/or trademark. It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos on the StatSheet.com website for certain uses involving identification and critical commentary may qualify as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of these images may be copyright infringement. Certain commercial use of these images may also be trademark infringement.
Use of team logos does not imply endorsement of the organization by StatSheet.com LLC, nor vice versa.
Additional Justification:
- Logos were obtained from the sources described in the Credits section.
- No free-license alternatives are available that convey the same information.
- The images are no larger, and of no higher quality, than required for its use on StatSheet.com.
- It is used only for educational purposes and is not used for profit.
- Its use does not compete with the copyright holder.
- Its use is not expected to decrease the value of the copyright to its holder.
Logo Credits
All team logos were obtained from the indispensable Sportslogos.net website.
All helmet logos were obtained from the National Champ's website.
The owners of both sites have done an excellent job compiling logos. I can't recommend them enough.
