In fact, it took some effort just to get our own logo approved - most organizations at the school are just supposed to use the main logo for the school accompanied by their org name.

We run a very fine line of our own. Our team is rather entwined with the University of South Carolina (we build in their shop, we work their football games as a fundraiser, we paint the robots garnet and black), who naturally has a lot of rules surrounding use and production of their logos. This all comes with a side order of NCAA rules; we once had a loaned pennant that
absolutely under no circumstances could go home with a student since it was purchased with USC athletic department funds. And then there are less restrictive rules for student organizations on campus (we have one for our college mentors), but then we have people outside that student organization (the kids, the teachers, me) that would wind up with the shirts.
You'll notice that we're very cautious to avoid those marks.
