Summary[edit]

Fair use rationale for Sunderland A.F.C.[edit]

• Because it is a logo there is almost certainly no free equivalent.
• The logo is a size and resolution sufficient to maintain the quality intended by the company or organization, without being unnecessarily high resolution.
• The entire logo is used to convey the meaning intended and to avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the intended image.
• Use of this logo has been discontinued, so commercial loss is unlikely.
• Published many times while also in use as the club's crest.
• Significant badge in the club's history, which is commented on in the article, discussing the evolution of the graphical design of the logo.
