hello all, first off i'd like to say... THANK GOD for this forum! i just discovered it today and already i've found a ton of answers to questions i'd had for the past few weeks.
anyways, i was wondering if logos like the emblems on national soccer jerseys were trademarked. brazil and germany both have emblems on their soccer jerseys that i'd like to incorporate into a few designs, but i don't know who "owns" the rights to them.

spain's jerseys also have an emblem, but that comes straight off their national flag so that would be fine to use i assume.
