NO !!! you will need an NFL licensing agreement to use any NLF or NFL team logos ... Refer to link posted @ bottom of page ...

I've been researching this for a design client myself and the only thing I've found so far is www.nfl.biz and that only talks about merchandising stuff (t-shirts, hats, etc.) Still looking, will post when I find something.

I believe that website is for anyone that is manufacturing a new product like a jacket or a coffee mug, etc...and want to use the NFL logo or any or all 32 nfl team logos as well.

I would like to know if you simply resell a trademarked nfl item like a jacket with tags that are genuine with the nfl halogram logo, can you use the NFL logo in the advertising of those products in print magazines for example or on a website?

They are trademarked, not copyrighted, but you still can't use them.

Does one need a license to sell merchandise with an NFL team logo?

Yes. Logos are registered trademarks of the team. You would need the permission of the team to sell something you made that has the logo of a team on it. How do you go about getting permission to use team logos? And do you need permission to use team fight songs? The NFL actually has a web site set up to answer this question. Take a look at www.nfl.biz for all of the information that you'll need about licensing an NFL team logo.
