University Seals

[DaggerHorns 3147]

Does anyone know a good place to get large flags/banners with University Seals?

I can’t even find one for Texas or other universities. Specifically the more academic looking ones with no logo.

If I were to print them or have them made, would I be violating anything?

We are going to be hanging them from the rafters in a local bar....so, yes, if you find one the size of a movie screen with the Texas seal, I’ll gladly hang it.

Also, go ahead and give me some jokes about seals, clubbing seals, Seal the musician, etc...

There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea that sold them. Not sure what happened to it.

Don't know about finding things with seals.  One of my favorite shirts from undergrad was a sweatshirt with the seal and "College of Engineering" on it. 

But, yes, most universities/systems consider their seal a trademark and you would be infringing them by printing your own.  https://trademarks.utexas.edu/protected-marks However, if you don't resell them, that increases the likelihood that you are "below the radar."  Nonetheless, do not underestimate the "pettiness" of the UT System or others similarly situated when it comes to trademark infringement.

This is the shit I’m talking about. If you put this bad boy on a flag, I’ll hang it.

I’m not reselling them, I’m literally just putting them in the bar for as long as it lasts.

The good newa is, if UT or anyone else comes after you, the situation is easily resolved by taking them down.  They may be petty, but they aren't stupid enough to sue or ask for money in that circumstance.

Yeah, more than likely they would just hire someone to burn down your bar
