About the Crafters License

The University of Alabama Crafters License was created for small crafters or low volume producers with the intent of making licensing agreements affordable.

If you are part of the University of Alabama Crafter License Program you have permission to use the university trademarks and logos on products. Anyone using the University of Alabama trademarks and logos on products must first have permission from the University of Alabama.

Who is eligible?

To qualify for the University of Alabama Crafters License you must manufacture items yourself by hand. You must not commercially manufacture the items.

Items that are not approved include, but are not limited to:

  • Apparel and Headwear (clothing and hats)
  • Cornhole boards / other tailgate games
  • Tumblers / other similar styles of drinkware
  • Consumable items / items used on or in the body
  • Potentially other items on a case-by-case basis

How do I apply?

If you are interested in being part of the University of Alabama Crafters License, you will need to contact the University of Alabama Trademark Licensing Program and fill out an application.

Included in the application process are photos of the products you intend to sell.
