Death to Google Ads! Texans Talk Tip Jar! 🍺😎👍
Thanks for your support!
Be careful and expect a letter from the Texans telling you to stop. That's what happened last time someone made flags like these.How many of you would be interested in one of these:
It's 51" x 24", made of nylon type material and would cost $37 shipped. I will put this on the 2 major boards, 20 available. If interested it would be via paypal only.
Do you know why? This looks like a great flag and I've got one coming to me soon.Be careful and expect a letter from the Texans telling you to stop. That's what happened last time someone made flags like these.
If that's the case then the marketing dept. needs to get off their ass and start selling them.Be careful and expect a letter from the Texans telling you to stop. That's what happened last time someone made flags like these.

As I posted on another site, I asked about this item a while ago. I spoke with 2 different lawyers of both copyright and trademark backgrounds and a customs agent. As long as this is not being presented as the original or claiming it as a licensed NFL product its ok.I'm not an IP attorney - but it's either a copyright violation or a trademark infringement.
The NFL is very picky about unauthorized people making $ using things like NFL logos. Licensing is how they make a good amount of change I would imagine.
Agreed.got the original thanks anyway
I'm just relaying what happened to the last person who made flags just like this, I'm sure many fans will be happy getting them from you as they are VERY hard to come by.As I posted on another site, I asked about this item a while ago. I spoke with 2 different lawyers of both copyright and trademark backgrounds and a customs agent. As long as this is not being presented as the original or claiming it as a licensed NFL product its ok.
Me too Joe, and I didn't try to sell my extra one. I GAVE it away to a diehard TEXAN fan!! I guess I'm pretty dumb. Never crossed my mind to try to make money off it.got the original thanks anyway
Don't you remember when they hit Ebay for a ridiculously high price? :-PMe too Joe, and I didn't try to sell my extra one. I GAVE it away to a diehard TEXAN fan!! I guess I'm pretty dumb. Never crossed my mind to try to make money off it.
The "advice" you were given doesn't jive with the NFL trademark agreement stipulations.As I posted on another site, I asked about this item a while ago.

No problem...the link you list refers to the website (ex: getting an image of nfl.com and using it)...I trust the individuals who I consulted...Thanks...also there are only 2 leftThe "advice" you were given doesn't jive with the NFL trademark agreement stipulations.

If you were making these for your own personal use, it's one thing, SELLING them to the public is another. Don't get me wrong, I'd personally LOVE one, but the legalities of it (as this isn't a protected parody) seem fairly straightforward.
For our draft advice/wishes to the team?BTW, they do monitor this site. I know that for a fact.

No they do not. They always have them on the walls in the store and concessions stands but it's never for sale. They're merely display pieces. I ask every time I walk in there. I've been looking for one for a long time.I was in the Texans store at Reliant on draft day, and they sell the flags in the store. No, I didn't notice the price, because I have one.
Or how about the Texans send them out to PSL owners again......as our gift for the year......seems like the last couple of gifts have been pretty lame.....If that's the case then the marketing dept. needs to get off their ass and start selling them.
What was the surprise?!?!Flag received. Thanks for the surprise in the box! Wow!
33 dollars for you to ship??? Not gonna let you eat all of that.
