\nSports kit is full of names and symbols that belong to someone: club crests, event titles, team colours tied to a sponsor, the names of famous riders and runners. Kit And Crest stays clear of all of them. This policy explains what belongs to us on kitandcrest.shop, how you may use it, why we cannot print certain names and logos on personalised kit, and how to tell us about a trademark, design or other intellectual property concern. For copyright takedown notices specifically, use our DMCA page.
\nThe content on kitandcrest.shop is owned by Kit And Crest or used with the permission of the person who created it. That covers:
\nThese are protected by copyright, trademark and related laws in the United States and in the other countries where our customers live, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
\nWhen you personalise a jersey, singlet or tee, the name, number and initials you type stay yours. We print them on your garment and nothing more. We do not claim any right to your name, we do not reuse your personalisation on other products and we do not show your order on the site.
\nWe like it when riders and runners share what they have found. You may:
\nSome uses go beyond sharing and need a written yes from us first. Without it, please do not:
\nTo ask for permission, email support@kitandcrest.shop with the subject “Permission request”, say what you would like to use and how, and we will reply within 24 hours on business days.
\nThis is the part of the policy that affects orders most often. Our designs are generic sports artwork: stripes, chevrons, checkers, colour bands and a simple crest shape. They are not copies of any real team or club kit, and they do not carry any team, club, race, event, brand, app or famous rider name or logo. The same rule applies to the personalisation fields.
\n| Field | \nFine to enter | \nNot accepted | \n
|---|---|---|
| Name on back (up to 14 characters, printed in capitals) | \nYour own name or nickname, such as SAM or CHRISTOPHER | \nA famous rider’s or runner’s name, or a brand name | \n
| Number on back (0-99) | \nAny number in the range, such as 7, 07 or 0 | \nNothing outside 0-99; a number on its own is fine | \n
| Crest initials (up to 3 letters) | \nYour initials or your group’s initials | \nLetters arranged to reproduce a real club or company monogram | \n
| Group or ride name on the side panel (group ride jersey only) | \nA name your friends made up, such as SATURDAY HILLS | \nThe name of a real club, race, sponsored event or charity campaign whose name is protected | \n
| Gift message (race day tee only, printed on the packing slip) | \nA personal note to the recipient | \nNothing is printed on the garment from this field | \n
A rider writes to ask whether we can make a jersey that looks like a well-known professional team’s kit, with the sponsor logos and a star rider’s name on the back. We cannot. We do not have permission to use those marks, and we will not imitate them. What we can offer is one of our own designs in a similar colour mood, with the rider’s own name and favourite number on the back.
\nFour friends ordering the Custom Group Ride Cycling Jersey for a charity ride want the event’s title on the side panel. If the event title is a protected name, we cannot print it. A name the group invented, or the group’s own initials in the crest, works well, and each friend can still choose their own name on back and size, and ship to their own address.
\nWe print exactly what is typed and we do not send a proof or mockup before production. If we notice before production that an order asks for a protected name or logo, we email you, ask for a change within the 24-hour change window, or cancel and refund the order if no change is possible. See Cancel or Change an Order for how that window works.
\nWe aim to sell only designs that are our own or that we have permission to use. We do not knowingly offer anything that infringes another person’s trademark, copyright, design right or right of publicity. Generic sports shapes, such as a band across the chest or contrasting sleeves, are common to many garments and we use them freely, but we do not copy a specific artwork or a recognisable kit.
\nAny other names or marks that appear on the site, for example in a reference to a type of event or in a customer’s own words, belong to their owners. Their appearance does not mean that the owner endorses Kit And Crest or that we are connected with them.
\nIf you believe something on kitandcrest.shop uses your trademark, your club or event identity, your design or your name or likeness without permission, email support@kitandcrest.shop with the subject “IP concern” and include:
\nFor copyright in artwork, photos or text, the six-element notice on our DMCA page is the better route, because it follows the statutory process.
\n| Concern | \nSubject line | \nPage with details | \n
|---|---|---|
| Trademark, logo, crest or event name | \nIP concern | \nThis page | \n
| Name or likeness of a real person | \nIP concern | \nThis page | \n
| Copied artwork, photo or text | \nCopyright notice | \nDMCA | \n
| Permission to use our content | \nPermission request | \nThis page | \n
| An order, delivery or return question | \nYour order number | \nHelp Center | \n
Buying a garment gives you the garment, not the artwork on it. You are free to wear it, race in it, lend it to a friend, give it as a gift or sell it second-hand as a single used item. What you cannot do is use it as a master to reproduce the design, for example scanning the print of a Chevron Sprint Cycling Jersey to make more jerseys, or photographing it flat to create artwork for another shop’s listing.
\nPhotos of you in your own kit are yours. If you send us one, perhaps to show a problem with a print or simply to say the fit worked out, we use it only to deal with your message and do not publish it. Photos customers email us are deleted 30 days after delivery, as explained in the Privacy Policy.
\nRiders and runners often send us ideas: a colourway for the Retro Checker Cycling Jersey, a new sock pattern to match the Chevron Sprint Running Shorts, a request for youth sizes on another design. We are glad to receive them. By sending an idea you agree that we may use it, change it or ignore it without paying for it or crediting you, unless we agree otherwise in writing first. We never publish your name, email or any personal detail alongside an idea without asking you. If you have artwork of your own that you want to protect, please do not send it as a suggestion; tell us what you have in mind and we will talk about it first.

The wider rules for using the site are in our Terms of Service, which are governed by the laws of California. To browse the designs this policy covers, visit the shop.
