Coach Roth: Football: Drills and Coaching

With total disbelieve I receive a couple of hours ago a mail from spreadshirt: They pulled my Walter Payton design off my Football T-Shirt Shop because of copyright issues.

So I wrote them back that I truely created the design myself and thought that would clear the issue. But quite contraire: They wrote me back that

a) you cannot use a design (even a self created one) that’s showing another person without permission and

b) that the Walter Payton Foundation contacted them to pull the design.

(read the original quote on my myspace-blog)

First of all I think I at least they should have contacted me (maybe just a simple cc of the email to spreadshirt) and informed me that they’d object. And second I was going to give a substantial part of my revenue as a donation to that very Foundation.

Well it seems they don’t want any help…
