Your best bet is to assume the College HAS copyrighted...and it makes no 
difference if it is a college school, baseball team, jeep club, or even your 
own design...a copyright is a copyright no matter who owns it-there is no 
difference in how the law applies. Not all schools or groups will make you pay 
a 'license' or 'fee' to use their logo-some just want you to get their 
approval/permission. BUT you never know until you ask! AND keep in mind-that if 
a customer asks you to make a dozen 'Oregon Duck' hats for him-and 'says' he 
has permission-YOU are the one that ends up getting sued by the college when 
they find out. Ignorance doesn't cut it in copyright lawsuits. YOU need to have 
WRITTEN PROOF that the client has permission-meaning-get a photocopy of HIS 
letter of permission. If you have to pay for a 'license to reproduce' or 'fee' 
-then make your customer pay for that! It's his order!
