Dear Cyn
For whatever reason, I can't seem to leave a comment on your page. So I'll just go ahead and post one here. As far as this tombstone shirt, you're not exactly a prodigy genius yourself there RSC. You sure like to let everyone know how dumb they are when they leave comments, but you say, "since MLB 'owns' the Red Sox logo" you're not convinced that they had any part of the approval of this shirt, implying that MLB can do whatever it wants with the Sox logo without the Sox knowing it. However, you say directly underneath that, "MLB and the Yankees chose to represent the Red Sox with a headstone." Tell me, how is it that MLB will do something without the direct opinion of the Red Sox when using their logo, but obviously work hand-in-hand with the Yankees directly to make such a shirt? Your blind rage for the Yankees and their fans is ridiculous. People so full of hate and rage live very unhappy lives, don't you know that? You need to relax. We all know you hate the Yankees, we got it. I hate the Red Sox, but I'm not going to spend every day of my life writing it on the internet for people to read. It's a bit over the top. This "disgusting" post looks like you're so hellbent on bashing the Yankees you'll go fishing for anything. I'm sure after 9/11 Boston fans were still running their mouth about the Yankees after 3000 people died in Manhattan. I heard people say stuff like, "It's so stupid how everyone says it's destiny for the Yankees to win the WS after the tragic events of 9/11." I don't think New Yorkers went crazy saying how "disgusting" and "cold-hearted" that was. Like Tommy says, you're a fan of baseball, right? Chill out and enjoy the playoffs. It's fun to talk a little smack here and there to each other, but come on.
On that note, Go Yankees!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I have worked with licensed goods in the past, I know personally that all designs that use a MLB logo has to be approved by the owner of the trademark, here being MLB. They approved the design for the sole purpose of making money. and personally, Im wearing mine right now.

Nice post. I see you must have read my comments. It all comes down to the almight dollar. The entire league is profiting from the sale of that shirt. I am interesetd to know who "approves" these things. Like I said and you reiterated, how can they use their logo without their consent if it paints them in a negative light?
I left a link to this post on the comments of her post. Hope you don't mind. just helping you to get your point heard.

J,
Basically, from what I have seen from licensing contracts that I have come across, there is something attached called a style guide that has to be adhered to, and some licensors are more **** about it than others. Most licensors do not want their logo used in a negative light, but you have to consider that ALOT of money is to be made with the Yankee- Sox rivalry, so its understandable that they would approve that design. The design HAD to come across a Director of Licensing or some equivalent, thats how the licensing approval process works.
