I am opening a site that sells shirts made by different brands. I'm not positive, but some of the shirts I am interested in reselling have trademarked logos that I'm pretty sure were never licensed by these brands (a.k.a. - a college logo used without that college's permission). Do you think it is likeley that me, as a reseller, could get into trouble for reselling this shirt, or is the original manufacturing brand the only one that could be in hot water (as I don't know for a fact that the logo is licensed or not)?

I know I should speak to an attorney about legal questions, but I'd be curious to get your takes on this type of thing. Thanks for the help.

Yes, it's very likely that you could get in trouble for reselling the shirt. You should contact the manufacturer to see if they have permission to use the logos.

Yes, you can get sued for selling unlicensed products.
