Ways to identify

...or just

Clan XMarks

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:

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 still like furrycelt's idea of a small white "X" on the back of a hat or Balmoral: its easay, its cheap, you can move it from one hat to another, or put it on a jacket lapel, vest or shirt. I'm proud of Xmarks, put there *are* times when I wouldn't want to wear a a ballcap or tshirt, and this would seem to address the matter.

Bryan...are we overthinking this issue a bit?...
