Spoke with him today about hoops and COVID
as part of his business he is manufacturing masks and I suggested he put a crusader or a shield on the mask. Since we will be wearing them for an unknown period of time, I suggested he make some Crusaders for the older groups and the shield for the bookstore.
if you have thoughts or a different approach I will get you connected. Glen said costs are $3-5 per mask

Let's hope all of the social media marketing the hoops staff is doing pays off on the recruiting trail.

Glen said costs are $3-5 per mask I would take 20-ish if you’re putting in an order for Crusader logo masks. I know you said on another thread the minimum order is pretty high but happy to do my small part to get us there.

I am waiting for Glen to send us a photo/proof of what it would look like. A friend from back home shared his Akron Zips masks and I think Wade’s dad has a Michigan -looking for one from HC.
Suggested Glen approach the bookstore and offer one with the Crusader and another with a shield.or one purple and white with a hoop, goal post, bat/ball etc
Will see what he says
Appreciate the response
Stay safe and healthy

I hope in this special circumstance, the school wouldn't be an obstacle, but I bet a lot of the logos we're talking about are copyrighted and you just can't sell stuff with that logo without permission or probably paying a royalty.
One more stick in the mud observation. I could see the school being very cooperative about the HC shield if the masks are sold at cost with no profit. Knights, armor, swords, etc might not get the same level of cooperation.

Was tempted to say "Me Too..." but won't go there! !

As others have suggested, there is no way the school is going to approve the Crusader logo if asked. This would need to be a covert operation. Using a crusader logo without specifically mentioning HC on the mask would would be my recommendation. One of my sons tried to order a single t-shirt from a custom t-shirt company for his brother’s birthday and HC refused to allow it when the company asked. Had we not mentioned HC on the shirt, I’m guessing they would not have contacted HC to ask for permission and we’d have our shirt.

Perhaps he could license the logo from Holy Cross Regional High School Crusaders in Surrey British Columbia and just print it on purple fabric. Follow the link and scroll down. www.holycross.live/

Based on my discussion with Rick Patterson, BoT chair about 1BC (1 year Before Covid), the Crusader logo/mascot always has a chance of coming back (like an Easter resurrection) sometime in the future. Not that it would actually ever happen but a CHANCE (yes, time for the Jim Carrey “you mean there’s a chance?” Video clip) but HC probably wants to keep all its options open, especially if it means money.
From my perspective, the College should either bring the Crusader back or be very free with granting licenses to anyone with a connection to Holy Cross who has even a semi-legitimate purpose that won’t damage the image of the College.
If the College finds that the Crusader is truly offensive, then they should step away from any association with the image and give up any rights to it permanently.

Follow the link and scroll down. www.holycross.live/Wow - someone stole a copyright with that logo. Identical to the one HC used for a while other than coloring. In the greater scheme of things that was a fairly recent logo for HC (21st century?) so not sure who stole from whom

My old high school has all of our traditional logos (Crusader, etc) in red. There are other schools in that are flat (in other colors). If we do not mention HC but use only the logos, I do not believe HC could object...or stop those who wished to do so.

In light of this "licensing" talk and what is written at the top of this Crossports page "Crossports and the Message Board are not affiliated with the College of the Holy Cross but is run by its fans" why are we allowed to use the HC shield here and the Crusader riding the horse logo icon that shows on my smart phone? Did we get permission for this? Have to pay?
Just curious...

Not sure Have a 3 pm call with glen and will ask and get back
The other option is to have Glen make them for the Athletic Fund, Annual Fund, any Estate Planning or Capital Campaign and we receive one with our contribution and the option to purchase additional masks; or the bookstore?

Glen is going to do 3-4 mock-ups From a simple design likely to be generic enough not to require approval Holy Cross -purple and White HolY Cross - Purple and White with a hoop, football, baseball etc Holy Cross Crusaders —Purple and White
For approval by or sold/gift by the school Holy Cross Crusaders -Purple And White with a Crusader Holy Cross Crusaders-Purple and White with a shield
He is thinking about the following
Sell through the bookstore-cash and carry Annual Fund gift for all contributions over $50 with an option to purchase more- for every 200 sold he will donate 20 to the lawn crew, kimball etc. Estate office Athletic Fund gift to each member with a gift of $50 and the opportunity to purchase more- he will give the fund $1 from each mask sold
Any other options? I will share the mock ups once received

Always had an affinity for the McKenzie Brothers.
