Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: November 8, 2026

Sports jerseys are a category where intellectual property matters a great deal. Club badges, league wordmarks, mascots and the names of well-known players are protected, and a jersey that copies them is not something Jerz Hub will make. This policy explains what belongs to us on jerzhub.shop, how you may use it, the rules we follow to respect everyone else’s rights, the limits we put on personalisation text and how to raise a trademark, design or other intellectual property concern. Copyright notices have their own process on our DMCA page.

1. What belongs to Jerz Hub

Unless stated otherwise, the material on jerzhub.shop is owned by Jerz Hub or used under licence. That covers the Jerz Hub name and the hexagon logo with the number 00, our jersey layouts, colourways and lettering arrangements, product images and digital previews, product and category descriptions, guides such as the Size Guide, the help and policy pages, the page design and the code that runs the site. This material is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws in the United States and in other countries.

2. What you are welcome to do

• Browse the site, and print or save pages for your own personal, non-commercial reference, for example to compare sizes with your teammates.
• Share links to our product pages or collections by message, email or on social media.
• Quote a short passage, such as a line from a care tip, as long as you link back to the page it came from.
• Wear, gift and photograph the jerseys you buy from us.

3. What is not allowed

• Copying our product images, previews, descriptions or page text onto another store, marketplace listing, catalogue or advertisement.
• Reproducing our jersey designs, layouts or lettering arrangements to make and sell your own products.
• Using the Jerz Hub name, the hexagon logo or anything confusingly similar in a way that suggests you are us, work with us or are approved by us.
• Running scrapers or bulk-download tools on the site, other than the normal indexing done by search engines.
• Removing copyright or ownership notices from anything you download.

If you would like to use our content in a way not listed above, ask first by email. We reply to every request and explain what is possible.

4. Our marks

“Jerz Hub” and the hexagon logo are the marks we use to identify our store and our products. Other names that may appear on the site, such as the name of a payment method at checkout or a carrier on a tracking page, belong to their owners. Showing them does not mean those companies endorse Jerz Hub or our jerseys.

5. How we respect other people’s rights

We design our range so that no product depends on someone else’s protected identity. In practice that means:

• No real team, club, college, school or league names on any product, in any colour name, SKU or description.
• No crests, badges, mascots, wordmarks or anything made to look like them.
• No player names, likenesses or signatures of real athletes.
• No wording that suggests a team or league has approved, endorsed or authorised a product, because none of our jerseys has that kind of connection.
• Colourways are named by colour only, for example black and volt or white and grey, not by any team they might remind someone of.

Jerz Hub jerseys are generic designs for baseball, football, basketball, hockey and softball: plain fronts, contrast panels, stripes, piping and clean lettering that you fill with your own name and number. Our blank jerseys carry no decoration at all. If we learn that a product, image or description may still infringe someone’s rights, we review it and change or remove it when appropriate.

6. Rules for personalisation text

Custom jerseys are printed with the text you type in the fields on the product page. That text is your responsibility, and by placing the order you confirm you have the right to use it. Please do not enter:

• the name, nickname or abbreviation of a real sports team, league, club, school or college;
• the name of a professional or well-known athlete, unless it is genuinely your own name or that of the person wearing the jersey;
• brand names, slogans or catchphrases that belong to a company;
• anything hateful, threatening, obscene or otherwise unlawful.

Your own name, a family name, a nickname, a recreational squad name you made up yourselves and any number you like are all fine. We may cancel and fully refund an order whose text breaks these rules. Because we print without sending a proof, we may not catch every case before production; when we do find one, we will email you before doing anything else.

7. Reporting an intellectual property concern

If you own a trademark, design right, right of publicity or other right and believe something on jerzhub.shop infringes it, email [email protected] with the subject “IP concern” and include:

1. Your name, contact details and your connection to the rights owner, for example owner, employee or lawyer.
2. The right concerned, such as a trademark registration number and the country of registration, or a description of the design or identity involved.
3. The exact URL of each product, image or page you are concerned about.
4. A short explanation of why you believe it infringes your right.
5. A statement that the information in your report is accurate and that you are authorised to make it.

For copyright, such as a photograph or a piece of artwork, please use the process on our DMCA page, which asks for some additional statements.

8. What happens after you report

We confirm that your report has arrived within 24 hours on business days. We then look at the material and the right you described. If the report shows a likely infringement, we change or remove the product, image or text and tell you what we did. If we need more information, we ask for it before deciding. If we do not agree that there is an infringement, we explain our reasons and remain open to further evidence. OWNER_CONFIRM: target time for completing a review.

9. Ideas, suggestions and feedback

We enjoy hearing ideas for new cuts, colourways and personalisation options. If you send a suggestion, you agree that we may use it without paying you or giving credit, because many ideas reach us from more than one person. We will never publish your name or personal information alongside a suggestion without your permission.

10. Content customers send us

Photos or files you email us, for example to show a print fault, remain yours. We use them only to deal with your request and delete customer photos 30 days after delivery of the related order. Review text left by verified buyers can be displayed on the product it relates to, as described in our Terms of Service.

11. Links to other sites

Where our pages link to another website, for example a carrier’s tracking page, that site has its own owner and its own rules. We do not control it and are not responsible for its content.

12. Common questions about names and numbers

Can I put my favourite player’s name on a jersey?

No, unless that name is also genuinely yours or belongs to the person who will wear the jersey. A real athlete’s name, used to make a jersey look like theirs, can infringe their rights of publicity and the rights of the team they play for. Your own surname, a family name or a nickname is always welcome.

Can I order my team’s colours?

You can choose any colourway we offer. Our colourways are named by colour only, and our designs do not copy any club’s uniform. If your recreational squad has its own invented name, you may enter it in the name field where the product allows it, as long as it is not the name of a real professional, college or school team.

Can I order a jersey with a number that a famous player wore?

Yes. Numbers on their own are not owned by anyone, and you may choose any number the field accepts. What we cannot print is a combination designed to copy a specific real player’s jersey, such as their name with their number in their team’s style.

Can I add a logo to a blank jersey myself?

What you do with a jersey after you buy it is up to you, but you remain responsible for respecting other people’s rights, especially if you plan to sell decorated jerseys. Our blank jerseys are sold without any decoration and come with no rights to anyone else’s marks.

Can I use Jerz Hub product photos to sell jerseys I bought from you?

If you are reselling a single jersey you own, for example second hand, please take your own photos. Our product images and descriptions may not be copied onto other stores or marketplaces.

Why we take this approach

A store that prints names and numbers for any sport could easily drift into copying the look of famous teams. We decided early that Jerz Hub would not do that. Generic designs protect you as well as the rights owners: a jersey with your own name on it cannot be seized, removed from a marketplace or questioned because it imitates someone else’s identity, and it belongs to your story rather than to a franchise. It also means that a jersey bought from us for a local league stays appropriate for that league season after season, whatever happens to the teams on television.

If you have a question about whether a particular name or idea is acceptable before you order, email [email protected]. We would much rather answer a quick question beforehand than cancel an order afterwards.

Product names and colour names

Our product titles describe the sport, the cut and the design, for example a two-tone pullover or a striped-sleeve hockey sweater. Colour names describe the actual colours, such as black, volt, white, grey, red or blue. We avoid nicknames that could be read as a reference to a real club or city team, and we review new titles and colour names against this policy before a product goes live. If you notice a title or colour name that you think crosses that line, tell us and we will review it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our range or the law changes. The date at the top shows the most recent revision.
