I believe the responsibility falls on the shoulders of your client in this situation. I would request a copy of his MLB merchandise license to be safe. Not so sure about the first part - believe you are responsible for what you print. All professional sports and many corporations defend their brand litigiously. I know it's tough when you are dealing with a good customer - but, do you want to find out there is no agreement, or the current agreement does not cover your circumstance... might want to seek professional advice -
We're in Mass, and obviously, there have been a few championships around here for the last 17 years. We do the work for a children's division of Reebok, and we get a contract from them, and a contract from the NFL for the Pats, MLB for the Sox, NBA for the Celtics back in 08, and the NHL for the Bruins in 2011, all separate. A lot crossing of t's and dotting of i's...Steve

If he is printing for the TV station and they are clearly for the staff, I would not bother with the paperwork (for the most part).pierre
Agreed. We've been printing the Cavs logo for a customer throughout the playoffs. These are items that are sold in the team shop as well so its completely legit. They do not seem to care who prints them. As long as the inks match and its delivered on time.
