edit - maybe it is a font, the lower case "S" both look the same. maybe check Billy Argel's portfolio/font collection Thank you. I found it, it has a very creative name, the Billy Argel Font.

Can anyone tell me what font this is?

If only the world was that straight forward. The reality is that you are supporting an industry that steals intellectual property and takes money away from the leagues. Therefore, indirectly, you are helping take money away from the owners of that intellectual property. I'm not trying to change your mind about buying counterfeits (because as we've found out that's not gonna happen), just don't think you're not in the wrong here. If you know what you're doing isn't right and you still do it, then that is your choice.

A lot of people get away with murder too. I love how people equate murder and larceny with buying some jerseys from China Almost as crazy as equating stealing with jaywalking, huh?

I don't think the problem most of us have is that you are taking money form the leagues, it's that you are taking money away from and stealing the work of the designers. Which on a board that gathers a lot of designers (professional, amateur or otherwise), I think it's a pretty valid problem. The other problem people have with you and Logoodude is that you refuse to acknowledge that what you are doing is illegal (which it is, whether you're buying, selling or trafficking it's all illegal). As BBTV said if you know what you are doing is wrong and you still do it, whatever it's your choice. Just don't be ignorant.

The materials are definately not the same. Many times on the counterfit hockey jerseys the logos, names and numbers appear to be of the same material that the logos on a Starter jacket would be. Also, more often than not the fonts are off as well. Not understanding why it is a big deal is one of the big "gear grinders" that many of us anti-countefitters have. I understand that many hockey counterfeits are not the same materials as the authentics, but the materials on the specific jerseys I've purchased are in great condition. Like I said, I've washed one throughout the years and it's held up great, while the newer one I purchased this past season looks and feels exactly like the real thing. Again, not all "counterfeits" are not of this high quality, I understand, but simple jersey designs like the Chiefs' are easier to replicate, and replicate well. All jerseys come from the same part of the world, correct? So who's to say the same materials used to construct my jersey aren't the same used to construct jerseys purchased from the NFL store website? They do not come from the same part of the world. As PCGD said earlier in the thread, NFL replicas are printed in Indiana. While (most) counterfeits are printed overseas.

No, it does not. The NFL's exclusive licence does not qualify as a monopoly because the football jersey market is not just the NFL. The NFL and its teams are simply brands in a market that include college and university teams, other pro teams from other pro or semi-pro leagues, and manufacturer specific stuff like Fubu jerseys. If the football jersey market was confined to just the NFL then yes, you would have a point. It isn't though. The NFL's exclusive licence only covers a portion of the wider football jersey marketplace, only 32 brands when you get right down to it. That's not a monopoly. Of course it does. People don't want just a jersey, they want their team's jersey, and if that team happens to be in the NFL, their only option is the NFL or a licensee. Wherever they get it though, the NFL sets the price. BTW, did the issue of homemades ever get addressed? By your thinking, wouldn't a homemade (regardless of quality) be illegal? I think IceCap said it earlier, but a homemade isn't technically illegal. It only becomes illegal when you try to sell it for your own profit.

Can anybody tell me what font this is? And if there is a free version of the font or a free font that is similar? http://www.sportslogos.net/logo.php?id=5750

I actually really like the Rockies black vest look.

Does anyone have a good t-shirt template in .ai?

Not quite a legend, although he'll always be remembered here for his face plant slide into the world series. And it crushed many people when he left.

Ok Thank you GBM.

Does anybody know what I did wrong?

Thank you Drew and Holligan. EDIT: Ok I did something wrong. When I drop it into Illustrator it says "File is not a valid font file" What did I do wrong?

Have you unzipped the font into the 'Fonts' folder? Yeah. Are you XP? If you're not the admin of your computer, then you have to restart. I don't know why, but that's what used to happen to me. I have vista, does the restart apply for vista to?

Have you unzipped the font into the 'Fonts' folder? Yeah.

When I download a font from dafonts.com how do I put it into Illustrator?

Does anybody have a good .ai baseball template with a batting helmet template as well?

Open the concepts forum, and the top pinned topic of the page (Paint Templates) is where you can find those templates. LEWJ made them.

Does anyone have an action template for hockey? In .ai? Thanks in advance.

bump For the track/cross country you can use a basketball shirt. and as for golf there's a polo shirt template on the first page.
