I bought it at a World of Wheels car show in the early 90's. I thought about bringing it to a tee shirt shop and getting more silk screen'd or embroidered, but I guess I'd have to go thru that whole GM licensing deal :rant:
Isn't there someting about use of a trademarked item to promote goodwill toward that product? Like a T-shirt that said "I'd rather drive a Buick". The word Buick being in a logotype form? GM wouldn't care cause it promoted goodwil toward the product. Just thinking out loud..
I probably wouldn't get in trouble if I had a few made for myself, but if I were selling them I would guess it might be a problem. When LSU won the Sugarbowl, the tee shirt joint in the French Quarter were selling LSU shirts and making a ton. State Police went in each store and checked all LSU memoribilia for the license agreement. They seized about 1/2 of what was being sold and the stores got heavy fines to boot.
We saw a guy get arrested outside of an arena once at a Kiss concert trying to sell unofficial T-Shirts for $10. I've read where silkscreening shops have gotten all but their livelyhood and everything they owned taken from them because they didn't check on trademark permission first. It's a slippery slope. If it's something for yourself, I wouldn't worry. You could have a bunch made up and give them to all your Buick friends next year for Christmas. :Brow:
Maybe, just maybe, I bought a bunch of "shop rags" at a garage sale that just happened to have GS by Buick on the front.....in L, XL, XXL, of course!
XXL would be a nice gift here too. I would sure pay you for your troubles of picking this up for me so I didn't have to make a trip...........
Too many 'Screaming Yellow Zonkers' huh? Incidentally, we just had a run of those last night. 18,000 cases of 12/8 oz boxes. I was dreaming of little yellow popcorn last night!! :rant: :laugh:
No wonder America is full of fatso's. 216,000 boxes of Zonkers in one night. How many calories is that?
If you can wait a year or two, GM will announce the end of Buick and then you can print as many as you want! :laugh:
Mike, there are 140 calories per serving, 7 servings per box. That means there are 980 calories per box for a grand total of..... 211,680,000 heart attack inducing, arterie clogging, lip smacking calories of goodness all on the trucks out to the minions who can't say no!! Hey, it's a paycheck. o No:
Technically, you could change one little part of it and it would be yours. This applies to images. So if I go and change one pixel of the mona lisa, its now mine. At least that's how I understand it. So I say, add one thread. I'd buy a t shirt if you got those reproduced.
I think the change would have to be more significant than one pixel. But you should have no trouble in taking that to an embroiderer to have it reproduced for YOURSELF.
