I am looking to create an NBA card business and would like to use animated player from the NBA. I know the Logos are trademarked, but can I just use the names without the logo?

long as you don't use it for financial gain
it should be okay. but again, not sure
you should consult with a business lawyer.

No you can't do that unless you get some license to use their trademark logos

No, you can't. Unauthorized use of a celebrities name opens you up for a lawsuit. If that wasn't the case, how many "Michael Jordan Brand" basketball shoes do you think there would be on the market?
