Get Permission to Sell Licensed Sports Team Apparel

Before you decide you want to start selling shirts that have a sports team logo, learn the rules about selling licensed sports team apparel. According to a 2010 New York Times article, "The NFL is Squeezing Discounters Over Apparel" getting approval for a professional team's product line is becoming increasingly difficult. Selling licensed professional and collegiate team apparel is a tremendous market. The National Football League only grants permission to online retailers who purchase more than $3 million in licensed merchandise from them per year.
