Per University of Pennsylvania policy, Penn Athletics requires that all individuals, organizations, departments and companies, both internal and external, obtain prior approval before producing any product(s) that will display any of Penn Athletics' marks both current and historic; regardless of the method of distribution. This includes the Penn Relays name and logos.

This formal licensing program is administered through the University of Pennsylvania’s Business Services Office and in a partnership with Exemplar Associates. In order to use the University's marks, a vendor must enter into a licensing agreement for use of the Penn Athletics marks. A license is a written legal agreement between the owner of the trademark (licensor) and a manufacturer/vendor (licensee). This license must be in place with Exemplar Associates before use of the marks occurs.

More information about the University-wide program can be found here.

University of Pennsylvania departments and student groups are required to purchase emblematic merchandise from officially licensed vendors; a list of currently approved campus suppliers is available here.

To obtain a Penn Athletics license or to get more information, please contact Exemplar Associates. Once a license has been granted, vendors will receive access to the Penn Athletics approved artwork.
