The FIFA World Cup in Brazil captivates all of Germany. Whether at public viewings, with colleagues, or at home with family and friends, every match of the German team is watched by millions of viewers, especially in groups.
Sales of fan merchandise reach record highs at such major events. And with a little creativity, you can even make your own badges to add the finishing touch to your fan outfit.
Here is an idea for a cost-effective fan outfit
Is €80 too expensive for a fan jersey? A cheaper alternative could be a T-shirt or shirt in the colors of your favorite team, which should be available for significantly less money—and customized with a button.
And this is how it works:
- Get a matching T-shirt or shirt (e.g. white for the DFB team)
- Create a design template with our online designer
- Turn it into a quick button
- Attach the button to your T-shirt or shirt – done!
This is what a low-budget fan jersey of the DFB selection could look like:
How to create the button with our online button designer:
Where do I get my team's logos?
On Wikipedia you can get the corresponding logos for practically all football teams.
Here is the entry for the German national football team on Wikipedia , including the team logo.
Although these are generally protected by copyright, there should be no problems using these logos as templates for your button designs for private use. "Trademark law only punishes infringements in the commercial sector. Furthermore, the risk of violating someone else's naming rights as a private individual is very low." (Michael Rohrlich: Social Media – Rights and Obligations for Users, 2013, p. 101).
It's also important to remember that the rights holders are non-profit organizations. However, there shouldn't be any risk of legal issues (although we can't provide legal advice here, and each individual case would need to be examined).
Using the same approach, you can of course also create fan jerseys for football clubs (FC Bayern fan jersey with a red T-shirt as the base, BVB fan jersey with a yellow T-shirt as the base, etc.) or for other sports (handball, basketball). As always when creating buttons with our Button Designer, your imagination is the only limit!
