Anyone know where I can find an online store that sells the Norditalia singlet Prefontaine wore in his last race? It's one of the coolest designs I've seen and would love to add one to my collection. Thanks!

It's actually owned by a guy who runs the running store Bayside Runner in Plymouth, MA.

Don't lie to this guy... Pre was buried in his Norditalia singlet. You have to be very lucky to come across another like singlet. It's very rare, a one of a kind singlet that individuals tried to replicate.

This is the property of the athletic organization in Milan, Italy. Whoever claims to own the logo in the has no valid claim to the copyright and, if making such singlets without a license from the owners in Italy, they are doing so illegally.
I'm quite sure you're wrong. The original producer of the artwork is the copyright holder.
With that said, it's doubtful that the copyright holder gives a flying fvck that some rag-tag retailer in America is selling a replica jersey of theirs from the early 70s that was made popular by an habitually reckless/drunk driver who caused his own demise.
Someone linked to a online store that sold the singlet one time. I almost bought it. They also had a singlet that read "Compton" that was pretty cool.
I'll go try to find the thread.
Actually, the shield logo is the property of the Milan organization, NordItalia is a general IItalian reference to northern Italy where Milan is located--the term may be copyrighted by some outfit in the States, but they have no reproduction rights for the shield logo unless they licensed it. Here's the story of how Pre obtained the singlet and what happened to it: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thehappyrower/4294560724/
Here they are:

On second glance, they are kind of stupid.

How does one "copyright" a word? They are not the creator of the word.
Makes no sense to me, either, but we do it in the US all the time. It's kind of like copyrighting genetic code so no one else can do reserach to design drugs or treatments relayed to that bit of DNA. Way too many lawyers seeking ways to get rich.
Actually, again, I am confusing terms. You cannot own a "copyright" to a word or expression. But you register words for trademark protection. However, you cannot just trademark some name or expression you like without any actual product, etc. to offer.
Sorry for the error.
And the copyright for an image or logo doesn't always default to the original creator of same--in the case of company or organizational logos, those entities almost always own the copyright, not the artist. A good example is the "Nike" swoosh logo, designed b a young student as a commission by Nike. She was paid $35 for her trouble, with no copyright or royalties.
Yes you are confusing the terms, but no entity could get a trademark that is based solely on the sale of one product, that, in itself, is a counterfeit.

...but she did recieve an undisclosed amount of stock a few years later!
She probably did better with Nike stocks than royalties!
