Why don't you check with Maryland Twisters or California All Stars? In the all-star cheer context, people immediately associate those as team names of those particular gyms. I get wanting to make a profit, but out of courtesy, I would contact them first.

You are actually looking for a "trademark" and not a "copyright". (Copyrights are usually original pieces of work like a book or lyrics, and a trademark is a name or title associated with something.


You can see if a word is trademarked thru sites like Free Trademark Search Online | Trademark filing & Trademark Registration Application | Online Corporations, Trademark Services, and others

Surprisingly, it shows that F5 is trademarked, but smoed is not.

Even knowing that, I would be hesitant to do anything with smoed on it (especially in their colors or their yellow) without permission.

Twisters Logos are not allowed to be copied. But, you can go to their online proshop and buy apparel. They have F5 blinged sports bras, and various bows, if that is what you are looking for. Here you go....

Maryland Twisters - Online Pro Shop

They have a lot more cute stuff in the gym store, so if you know anyone that goes there, ask them to update you on the newest things they have.

Hope that helps.
