It makes me wonder if he has permission to sell merch with those names and phrases on them.
Good point ... I hadn't thought of that. Is it legal, what he's doing? Because if not then I won't buy one ...
I wouldn't think it was legal, unless he wanted to donate the proceeds to the Star Fund.

Weird Al Star Fund has permission to sell what they sell at the W.A.S. store.
As for these, I can only wonder. It's better to be safe than sorry.

What, if you buy a shirt that says U62 on it, you're gonna get arrested? I don't think Al is gonna be terribly bothered by what this guy is selling. I mean, it's getting more attention for UHF, and we all know UHF doesn't get nearly the attention it deserves.

It's also a matter of respect, and trying to profit off of someone else's material/concepts/names/ideas is not very respectful.

The designs are awful, and the shirts will just be iron on transfers anyway. I wouldn't waste my money. Also while not entirely legal I think they'd get away with selling them if it came to anything as they don't use al's or michael richard's images
