The Bonita Rebels Logo is a valuable property of the Bonita Rebels Club, and revenues generated by sales of Bonita Rebels Logo-bearing items are strictly subject to the direction and control of Bonita Rebels. Bonita Rebels-affiliated teams may NOT use the Bonita Rebels Logo for any commercial purpose whatsoever (i.e., the sale of shirts, jackets, caps, scarves, blankets, umbrellas or other items bearing the Bonita Rebels Logo) without first receiving the prior written permission of the appropriate individual or individuals authorized to grant such permission by the Bonita Rebels Board of Directors.
If permission for a commercial purpose is granted, such as a team fundraising activity, all proceeds from those sales must go directly into Team accounts and not to an individual or individuals’ personal bank accounts. Note - Teams should not place purchase orders with vendors other than Soccer Fanatic retail stores for any Bonita Rebels Logo bearing items prior to gaining written approval (which may be approved or denied) of Bonita Rebels. Any written permission granted for such limited commercial purpose may be revoked at any time by Bonita Rebels for individuals or teams who do not adhere to Bonita Rebels policies.
The Bonita Rebels Logo must always be used in the same proportions. It is intended to be used as a unit, and it must not be altered or modified from its standard form.
All applications of the Logo must use the original colors properly as outlined. No other colors may be substituted in a color rendition. For non-color renditions, either 100% black or 100% white is acceptable. If Logo is presented in 100% white, it can only be placed on a solid dark background.

No lettering, lines, or images may cross over or hide the elements of the Logo. The required border of space around the Logo must equal the height of the letter “S” in Spurs.
