Actually, it can have the logo on it, as long as you make it yourself. We aren't allowed to give the logo to another company to produce things with, but if you buy iron on transfers and make them yourself it's fine. The logos are available to download on CC. I just picked up t-shirts at the craft store for a few dollars each.

As I read it, it's okay to make things for your own use...I sent HO an email, just to see. My mom has an embroidery machine and I'd LOVE to make my own stuff. That way I can pick my style and such. I'll let y'all know when I hear back! (though this MIGHT be one of those things that it's better to do and then apologize rather than ask and be told no...)
