That would be perfect, but we'll probably still have to get approval from the copyright holder for the "XMarksTheScot.Com" part.

If there is a copyright problem, why not just do away with the XMARTHE SCOT.COM and just have an image of the XMARKS pin on the front?

I'm easy to find. I'm the one in the kilt

Without the catch-phrase twist at the end, there might not be a copyright problem.

I did a little digging, and found this from last year:

Well anyway, the guys who did come up with the idea are cool with us using the name and the Saltire as long as they have sole rights to T-shirts. I figured you guys had no problem with this, but even if you do have a problem...oh well!

So if you would like to get a t-shirt that says xmarksthescot then go to www.caberdancer.com . Now if you want one that says www.xmarksthescot.com on it send em an email and tell em!

Thanks for your support guys!

Here is something I came up with. This isn't a finished hat, just a hat company which would do one hat at a time, or a batch. My idea was a royal blue ball cap with :

XMARKS MEMBER embroderedacross the front in silver, and XMARkS.com across the back. Their price for a single hat is about $21
They also do Logos, butI think they are more expensive. I don't see a problem with copyrights , if we each had our own hat made up. Sometime ago, Hank told me I could make my own personal xmarksthescot.com bumper sticker. I still plan on doing that, but the "KILTIN" Dakota stays in the parking lot at festivals.

I don't know why everyone is worried so much about the copyright issue. Do we even know for sure if that T-shirt that says "X Marks the Scot" is even registered? Further, if no one makes any money off of a "copy", then there is no harm done.

But what we want is something that says: "www.XMarksTheScot.com"; the dot com at the end and the triple wow at the front makes all the difference. That is the name of our forum; we have the right to promote our forum; we are not damaging anyone else's business by doing so.

Heck, I could take my existing hat and get the URL embroidered across the back at one of those kiosks in the mall.

i understand the whole copyright thing but what if we created the logos for a t-shirt and/or a hat and you did with them as you want

All great ideas, but how about a simple solution like we have seen at airports and the like. A sign of letter size cardboard (8 1/2 x 11) that has a simple X on it, just flash it every so often.
