is it legal to put a brand name on a custom t-shirt?

It is only illegal if you try to sell it since that would be considered Trademark Infringement.

Placing brands on personal items is a form of personal expression and thus protected by the 1st Amendment.

Anyone that gets nasty with you, all you need to do is express it is self expression and not a promotion of any business or trade. After that, the legal eagles will go away. Disney is infamous for doing this trying to get their copyrighted works off private custom cars, clothing and buildings.

It's totally not legal but I doubt anyone will notice or care

it is only legal if you get their permission. who know, maybe if they like the shirt you make, they might even put it on the market.....

I thought it would be ok as long as you're not selling it...

Just go to photobucket

I would consider it a "knock off" wouldn't you?

Yes, as long as you don't sell it.

idk...but who cares..its not like anyone would notice whether you made or bought it...lol. i would just do it anyway.

Unless you have their permission, or they are making it, it is completly illegal and is plagarism.

as long as you dont sell it you are ok

No, it's not legal.
