Row One Brand is an American sports brand founded over a decade ago. Row One offers over 20,000 historic sports wall art prints created from sports artifacts in the public domain under U.S. Federal Copyright Law like the historic 1960 LA Dodgers Yearbook Cover Art above. The publication was never copyrighted and this beautiful cover art design fell into the public domain 65 years ago. Regardless, the cover art would be in the public domain because the publication's copyright was never registered or renewed according to a U.S. Copyright Office Records Search. Team names on our tickets and programs identify who played in the game and have great historical significance. Row One is not required to erase, "black out," or censor the historic publications we use to create our unique sports history products.
Row One strives to portray history accurately.
Row One's historic sports art is not affiliated with, licensed, sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by any college, university, team, league, artist, athlete, coach, venue, other brand, or any licensing entity.
Team names appearing on tickets and program covers serve the function of describing who played in the game and are important historical facts. Similarly, words appearing below cartoon drawings or 70 year old college mascot art describe who the cartoon represents and are descriptive. Row One is not required to erase elements, words, or art embedded within old historic publications, drawings, cartoons, books, magazines, program covers, and tickets in the public domain under U.S. Federal Law.
Row One uses old historic cover art, tickets, schedules, magazines, books, films, cartoons, photos, illustrations, and paintings in the public domain under U.S. Federal Copyright Law to create our unique sports products. Once a creative work's copyright expires, it falls into the public domain. Row One also uses many items that were never copyrighted either due to failure to copyright the item or a conscious decision not to copyright the material.
Row One's physical college football memorabilia collection includes thousands of historic tickets and programs. The collection dates back to an 1876 Harvard-Yale football program and Row One's oldest game ticket is an 1893 Princeton Tigers vs. Pennsylvania Quakers college football ticket.
Team names appearing on old tickets and historic cover art are an important component of the designs because they describe who played or what team the art represents. Row One strives to portray history accurately and is not required to remove or "censor" any aspect of our historic public domain creative works.
No college or university, pro team, artist, "brand," or publishing company has sole ownership of historic publications in the public domain under U.S. Federal Copyright Law and no license is needed to use historic public domain materials.
These creative materials include songs, films, footage, books, magazines, drawings, cover art, game ticket designs, paintings, cartoons, movies, illustrations, paintings, photos, and works of art that no longer have copyright protection.
Row One's historic sports art is not affiliated with, licensed, sponsored, authorized, or endorsed by any college, university, team, league, artist, athlete, coach, venue, other brand, or any licensing entity.
Old tickets are like chapters from a historic book. Each week tells a different story.
