That includes:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Jersey Lane name and any logo or wordmark we use.</li>\n<li>Our product designs, such as the Lane Stripe and Two-Tone Panel reversible jerseys, the Gradient Fade all-over print and the Retro Pinstripe pattern as we present them.</li>\n<li>Product photos, digital previews and the live personalisation preview.</li>\n<li>Product names, descriptions, size guidance, help articles and policy pages.</li>\n<li>The layout, graphics and code of jerseylane.shop.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>This content is owned by Jersey Lane or used with the permission of its owner, and it is protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.</p>\n<h3>Generic things nobody owns</h3>\n<p>Some features of basketball apparel are common to the sport. Mesh fabric, a tank cut, a V-neck, a reversible build, block lettering, numbers front and back, and simple colour pairs like Black/White are not ours to claim, and we do not claim them. What we protect is our particular artwork, photography and writing.</p>\n<h2>Using our content: what is fine and what is not</h2>\n<h3>Go ahead</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>View and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use.</li>\n<li>Share links to our product pages with your team, your league group chat or your family.</li>\n<li>Quote a short extract, such as a sizing tip, with a link back to the original page.</li>\n<li>Post photos of yourself or your team wearing gear you bought from us.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>Please do not</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Copy, resell or republish our product photos, previews or descriptions, including on marketplaces or other online stores.</li>\n<li>Use the Jersey Lane name, or anything confusingly similar, in a way that suggests we are connected to you or your business.</li>\n<li>Scrape or bulk-download the site with automated tools, apart from normal search engine indexing.</li>\n<li>Make and sell products based on our designs without our written permission.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>To ask for permission, email us with what you would like to use and how. We read every request.</p>\n<h2>Personalisation: what we print and what we do not</h2>\n<p>Custom products have a Name on back field, a Number field and a Lettering choice of Block or Arched. We print the text exactly as you type it. Because you choose the words, you also need the right to use them. To keep things fair for everyone, we have a clear line on what we print.</p>\n<h3>What we will print</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Your own name or nickname, or the name of the player who will wear the jersey.</li>\n<li>Your child&#8217;s name, such as a first name on a Custom Youth Name &amp; Number Jersey.</li>\n<li>Any number from 0 to 99. Numbers are not owned by anyone.</li>\n<li>A family name shared across a roster, so long as it is a real player&#8217;s own name.</li>\n</ul>\n<h3>What we will not print</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Team names or club names belonging to any professional, college or school team.</li>\n<li>League names, tournament names or event names that belong to someone else.</li>\n<li>The names of well-known athletes, entered to recreate their jersey.</li>\n<li>Logos, slogans, mascots or any other trademark, written out in letters.</li>\n<li>Text that is offensive, hateful or unlawful.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>We do not suggest team names, league names or player names, and the product pages never ask for them.</p>\n<h3>What happens if an order crosses the line</h3>\n<p>If the personalisation on an order appears to use someone else&#8217;s team name, league name, player name, logo or trademark, we may cancel that item and refund it in full to the original payment method. Where it makes sense, we will email you first so you can change the text instead. We would rather print your own name than send nothing at all.</p>\n<table>\n<caption>Personalisation examples</caption>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">What you type</th>\n<th scope=\"col\">What we do</th>\n</tr>\n</thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Your surname and number 23 for your rec-league jersey</td>\n<td>Print it as typed</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Your daughter&#8217;s first name and number 7 on a youth jersey</td>\n<td>Print it as typed</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Your church team&#8217;s nickname, which you made up yourselves</td>\n<td>Print it, if it is not someone else&#8217;s name or trademark</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A professional team&#8217;s name across the back</td>\n<td>Not printed; we may cancel and refund the item</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A famous player&#8217;s surname with their known number</td>\n<td>Not printed; we may cancel and refund the item</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td>A brand slogan or league name</td>\n<td>Not printed; we may cancel and refund the item</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody>\n</table>\n<h3>Spelling is on you</h3>\n<p>We print what you type, with no proof first. &#8220;Johnson&#8221; in a field printed in capitals comes out as JOHNSON. Check spelling carefully, because personalised gear cannot be resold. If something was typed wrong, contact us and we will look at each case. Returns are covered on <a href=\"/returns-exchanges-policy/\">Returns &amp; Exchanges</a>.</p>\n<h2>No logos, no uploads</h2>\n<p>We do not print customer logos, crests or artwork, and the site has no photo or file upload. Personalisation is limited to the text fields on the product page. That keeps every order simple, and it means nobody can accidentally send us someone else&#8217;s artwork to print.</p>\n<p>If your squad wants a team look, pick one product and colourway, for example the Blacktop Reversible Mesh Jersey in Black/White, and give each player their own name and number. A player who joins later can order the same product and colourway to match.</p>\n<h2>Building a squad look without borrowing anyone&#8217;s brand</h2>\n<p>You do not need someone else&#8217;s name on the front to look like a team. Here is how different crews do it with what we offer.</p>\n<h3>A youth coach with a full roster</h3>\n<p>Choose one product, such as the Custom Name &amp; Number Reversible Jersey, and one colourway. Add each player&#8217;s jersey to the cart separately with that player&#8217;s own first name or surname and their number. Flip the jerseys for scrimmages, one colour per side.</p>\n<h3>A 3-on-3 tournament crew</h3>\n<p>Pick a crew name you invented yourselves and check it is not already a well-known team or brand. Since the Name on back field holds up to 12 characters, each player can carry a nickname, or simply a number.</p>\n<h3>A church or community-centre team</h3>\n<p>Use your own players&#8217; names and numbers. If your group has its own crest or logo, we cannot print it, because we do not print customer logos. A shared colourway and matching lettering style, Block or Arched, still give the bench a clean, unified look.</p>\n<h3>Not sure a name is OK?</h3>\n<p>Email us before you order. Tell us the text you plan to type and we will tell you whether we can print it. If you have already ordered, you can still change the text within 24 hours of placing the order. See <a href=\"/cancel-change-order/\">Cancel or Change an Order</a>.</p>\n<h2>Posting photos of your gear</h2>\n<p>Took a team photo after the final buzzer? Share it wherever you like. Photos you take of yourself or your team are yours. A mention of Jersey Lane is always welcome, but please do not word a post in a way that suggests we sponsor your team or that you speak for us.</p>\n<p>We will not repost your photos on our site or elsewhere without asking you first.</p>\n<h2>Not affiliated with any team or league</h2>\n<p>Jersey Lane designs and sells its own basketball apparel. We are not connected to, sponsored by or endorsed by any team, league, club, school, governing body or athlete. Our products are not replicas of any team&#8217;s uniform. Words like &#8220;game jersey&#8221; or &#8220;shooting shirt&#8221; describe the style of garment, not a connection to anyone.</p>\n<p>If you see another name or mark on our site, for example in a review written by a customer, it belongs to its owner, and its appearance does not mean that owner endorses us.</p>\n<h2>Reporting an intellectual property concern</h2>\n<p>We do not knowingly sell anything that infringes someone else&#8217;s trademark, design right, copyright or right of publicity. If you think we got something wrong, tell us.</p>\n<h3>What to include</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>Your name, contact details and your relationship to the rights owner.</li>\n<li>The right you believe is affected, such as a trademark registration number or a description of your design.</li>\n<li>The URL of each product or page concerned.</li>\n<li>A short explanation of why you believe it infringes.</li>\n<li>A statement that the information you provide is accurate and that you are the rights owner or authorised to act for them.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Email it to <a href=\"mailto:support@jerseylane.shop\">support@jerseylane.shop</a> with the subject &#8220;IP concern&#8221;, or post it to Jersey Lane, 3220 Common Way, Madera, CA 93637, US. For copyright in photos, artwork or text, please use the process on our <a href=\"/dmca/\">DMCA</a> page instead.</p>\n<h3>What happens next</h3>\n<ol>\n<li>We acknowledge your report within 24 hours on business days.</li>\n<li>We review the product or page you identified. If we need more detail, we ask before deciding.</li>\n<li>If the concern is valid, we remove or change the product or content and tell you what we did.</li>\n<li>If we decide no change is needed, we explain our reasons by email.</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>Spotted something as a customer?</h3>\n<p>You do not have to be a rights owner to flag a problem. If a product page or preview on our site looks like it uses someone else&#8217;s name, logo or artwork, email us the link. We check it the same way and thank you for the heads-up. You do not need to include a legal statement for this kind of tip.</p>\n<p>If a product is removed and someone has already ordered it, we contact that customer and offer a full refund to their original payment method.</p>\n<h2>Ideas, suggestions and feedback</h2>\n<p>Coaches and players send us great ideas, like a new colourway or a different cut. If you send us a suggestion, we may use it without owing you anything. We will never publish your name or personal details with it unless you give permission. Our <a href=\"/privacy-policy/\">Privacy Policy</a> explains how we handle personal information.</p>\n<h2>Changes to this policy</h2>\n<p>We may update this policy as the store or the law changes. The &#8220;Last updated&#8221; date at the top shows the latest version. Orders are handled under the version in force when they were placed.</p>\n<h2>Questions about IP? Email us</h2>\n<p>For permission requests, IP concerns or questions about what we can print, email <a href=\"mailto:support@jerseylane.shop\">support@jerseylane.shop</a>. Support runs by email only, and we reply within 24 hours on business days.</p>\n<p>See also our <a href=\"/terms-of-service/\">Terms of Service</a>, <a href=\"/faqs/\">FAQs</a> and <a href=\"/contact-us/\">Contact Us</a>.</p>\n","visible_characters":10544,"meta_description":"Who owns Jersey Lane content, what personalisation text we print, why we do not print team names, logos or trademarks, and how to report an IP concern to us.","parent":null,"published_at":"2026-11-01T13:18:53+00:00","updated_at":"2026-11-01T13:59:57+00:00"}}
