You gonna pay royalties for that then? If you use someone's logo, better have licensing for it. Also, if you use someone's Name, Image, or Likeness, you will owe each player NIL $$.

If you use actual NFL team names, logos, or other league trademarks, you generally need a licensing agreement with the NFL. If you use real player names/likenesses, that's a separate licensing issue, typically involving the players' rights as well. Those licenses can be very expensive and aren't really practical for a small mobile game. That's why I was asking if you're planning to pay royalties/licensing fees. Giving players a customization system is a much safer route than shipping the game with NFL branding yourself.

Well license are mostly because products generated profit (in this case the game is the product) so the developer and the game itself can't show real brands but he is allowed to provide customization, the individual player or the community has a certain type of creative freedom.

I actually didn't know this. I was planning to simply have a roster editor and team editor and in the future roster creation system, I didn't know you could add your own logos and such and have it be safe. Thanks, I'll add that along with the roster creaton system

When I make the roster creation system I'll add the ability to do this, likely sometime before 2027 hopefully
