What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NY

Hello,
Im in the process of starting up a tshirt line. I know that using famous pictures of images of celebrities is illegal without consent but I'm wondering if I were to sell let's say a backpack or hat and include a shirt for free (that had a famous image or celebrity on it) is that still infringement? I would be giving away the shirt in all reality.

Thanks in advance
