People who are saying we didn't need it in writing becasue the SANFL publicly said we were OK to use it are missing the point entirely.
You do these things in writing so there can be no confusion / misunderstanding on what was said. For example the SANFL say they had no idea about selling the names to members, sounds like they assumed it was past SOO players names going on the jumper.
Therefore they can break this verbal contract quite easily as they did not agree to how we were going to use it.
But a written contract detailing exactly how we were going to use it puts the SANFL in a very difficult position, yes they can break it but the potential is there for damages.
Even despite all that when using someone elses IP for marketing GET IT IN WRITING. Yes, it is different to Tippettgate but it still goes to show how amateurish we conduct ourselves. Different "problem", same clowns in charge.
