How to Acquire Merchandise
All merchandise bearing University of Richmond marks must be acquired from a UR-licensed vendor. Collegiate Licensing Company (CLC) manages licensing on behalf of the University. Through CLC, licensees submit all products and artwork for approval prior to production. Reproduced marks may not be altered in any way, and the proper trademark or registration designation must be included in the design.
Departments or student groups may choose to work with the UR SpiderShop or a licensed vendor to design and acquire merchandise. The SpiderShop and licensed vendors have access to UR marks, including club sports.
Once the item is designed, SpiderShop or the vendor will submit the design for approval via the CLC licensing website, which then routes it to UR Collegiate Licensing for approval. Once that step is complete, the product can be produced.
