I am in small a college anime club and we are looking for a cool mascot. Everybody is familiar with Domo-kun and we would like to know if we can use his image as our mascot. Our idea was to take him and draw him wearing our schools t-shirt from Sam Houston State University. We would like to make club t-shirts as well as distribute fliers with our mascot on it. We do not take in any revenue except for where we go to anime conventions. Will I run into any problems if we were to do this?
