Intellectual Property Policy

Last updated: November 9, 2026

1. Our approach

Jersey shopping is full of other people’s names: clubs, leagues, kit makers and star players. Jerzoo deliberately stays out of all of it. Every jersey on jerzoo.shop is either logo-free or personalised with the names and numbers our customers choose for their own family, kids and pets. That keeps our jerseys honest about what they are, and it respects the work and rights of others.

This page explains which content we do and do not print, how we check orders, what happens if something slips through, and how a rights holder can contact us. Copyright notices for images or text on our site are handled on the DMCA page.

2. What we will print

• First names, family names, nicknames and pet names that do not refer to a protected brand.
• Numbers from the ranges shown on each product page.
• Short original words where a product offers a text field, such as a family word or a phrase of your own.
• Our own original designs: stripes, panels, colour blocks and the Jerzoo paw-and-ball motif.

3. What we will not print

Your own family name is always fine, even if a famous player shares it. “GARCIA 9” on a dad’s jersey in our green and tangerine colourway is a family jersey. The same text designed to imitate a famous club’s kit is not something we make.

4. Colours and designs

Colours themselves are free to use, and our colour names are our own (for example “Jungle Green” or “Tangerine”). We do not name colourways after teams, and we do not combine colours, stripes and numbers to copy a specific club’s kit. If you ask for a design “like” a named team, we will not make it.

5. How we check orders

When an order includes personalisation, the text you typed is visible on the order. If it appears to include protected names or marks, we email you before the item is made. You can choose a different original text or cancel. If you cancel, you receive a full refund within 7 days of the cancellation being confirmed. The way orders are reviewed internally is something we keep improving; if anything ever reaches print that should not have, rights holders can contact us as described below.

6. If you are a rights holder

If you believe a product, image or text on jerzoo.shop uses your trademark or other intellectual property without permission, email support@jerzoo.shop with “IP concern” in the subject line and include:

1. your name, organisation and contact details;
2. the right you hold, such as a trademark registration number and the country of registration;
3. the exact URL of each page or product concerned;
4. a short explanation of why you believe it infringes;
5. a statement that the information is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorised to act for them.

We confirm receipt, normally within 24 hours on business days, review the report and remove or change the material where appropriate. We tell you what we did.

7. Our own intellectual property

The Jerzoo name, logo, site design, product photos, original artwork and written content belong to Jerzoo or its licensors. Please do not copy them to sell other products, build look-alike stores or suggest an official link with Jerzoo. If you would like to use something, ask us first.

8. Why this matters to you as a customer

An item that imitates a team or brand can be stopped at customs, removed from marketplaces or simply be unfair to the people who built that brand. By keeping to original designs and your own names, your Jerzoo jersey is yours to wear anywhere: at the park, at a family barbecue, at a birthday party or on the dog’s walk. And it never pretends to be something it is not.

9. Examples

A kids birthday team name

You want ten jerseys for a birthday party with “THE ROCKETS” across the front. If that is an original party name and not a real team, it is fine where a product offers a text field. If it is a famous club’s name, we will ask you to choose another.

A pet named after a sports star

Your dog is called after a famous player. A pet name alone on a pet jersey with our own design is fine. We will not add that player’s team colours, number styling or logos to make it look official.

A request to copy a kit

You send us a photo of a club kit and ask for the same jersey. We will not copy it, but we are happy to suggest one of our own colourways with your names and numbers.

10. Cancellations and refunds for IP reasons

If we cannot print an order because of the rules on this page and you do not want to change the text, we cancel the affected item and refund it in full within 7 days of our cancellation email. Shipping is free, so there is nothing else to refund. See the Refund Policy for how refunds reach you.

11. Product names and descriptions

Our product names and descriptions do not use team, league or brand names, even as search words. If you ever see one on our site, please tell us so we can correct it.

12. Disputes

If you disagree with a decision we made under this policy, reply to our email and explain why. We review it again. These rules are part of our Terms of Service, which are governed by Alabama law.

Frequently asked questions

Can I order a jersey in my favourite team’s colours?

You can choose from our own colourways, which have our own names. We do not create colourways to match a particular club, and we do not name colours after teams. If one of our colourways happens to share a colour with a club, that is fine; the design, names and numbers stay original.

Can I put a famous player’s number on my jersey?

Numbers alone are not protected. You can choose any number in the range shown on the product. What we will not do is combine a number with a famous player’s name, team colours and styling to imitate an official shirt.

Can I use my company or school name?

Only if you have the right to use it and it does not include a logo. For organisations, we may ask you to confirm that you are authorised. We do not print logos of any kind.

What about a city name?

A plain city or town name, used as a place name, is usually fine. A city name combined with a team nickname or logo is not.

Can I upload a logo?

No. Our products do not support logo uploads, and we do not print logos, crests or emblems, including ones you designed, to keep the catalogue logo-free.

Will you tell me why my text was refused?

Yes. Our email says which part of the text we cannot print and offers you a chance to change it or cancel for a full refund.

Working with rights holders

If a rights holder contacts us, we aim to resolve the concern quickly and in good faith. That can mean removing a product, changing a description, cancelling pending orders that use the disputed text, or explaining why we believe the material is original. We do not ignore reports, and we do not argue with valid ones.

Review of our catalogue

Before a product goes live, its name, description, colour names and SKU are written to avoid protected names. If we add new designs, they go through the same check. If a rights holder or customer points out something we missed, we correct it and look for similar cases across the store.

Fan spirit without borrowed brands

We get it: a lot of the fun of a jersey is showing who you cheer for. At Jerzoo, the team you cheer for is the one at your dinner table. Mum is number 1, the twins are 11 and 12, grandpa wears 70 for his birthday, and the dog is number 0 because he never passes the ball. Those stories belong to you, and they are the only ones we print.

Words used on this page

• Trademark: a name, logo or sign that identifies a business, team or brand.
• Logo-free: a design with no logo, crest, badge or brand mark of any kind.
• Personalisation: the names, numbers and text you type into product fields.
• Rights holder: the owner of a trademark or other right, or someone authorised to act for them.

Checklist before you order

• The name is a person’s or pet’s name, or an original word of your own.
• No team, league, club, college, brand or character names.
• No logos or crests described or requested.
• The colourway is one of ours, chosen on the product page.
• Spelling checked, because we print exactly what you type.

If you tick every line, your order goes straight through. If you are unsure about a word, email us before ordering and we will tell you whether we can print it.

Ideas for original names and numbers

Stuck for ideas that stay original? Families often use surnames, first names, nicknames or a shared family word. Numbers can be birthdays, ages, years married, house numbers or simply favourites. Pet jerseys can carry the pet’s name and age, or a playful number like 0 or 99. Kids love seeing their own name in big letters on the back, and parents love that it belongs to nobody else. None of these need permission from anyone, and all of them make the jersey yours.

For a group, such as a kids’ birthday party or a family reunion, pick one original group word and give everyone their own number. It looks like a team, feels like a team, and never borrows anyone’s brand.
