Rules for use of corporate logos on fencing kit

These rules are intended to cover the use of corporate logos on kit to promote sponsors of individual (or groups of individual) fencers.

The rules are applicable whilst competing in Domestic level tournaments in the UK.

{Please note that the rules for placements of corporate logos are less strict that the international rules and athletes competing internationality in the same equipment should familiarise themselves with the international rules)

International rules are contained within the FIE Publicity Code found here.  In accordance with the FIE Publicity Code, BF reserve the rights to GBR athletes to affix logos of up to two federation sponsoring/funding partners onto fencing equipment and the National tracksuit.

The interpretation and enforcement of these rules are ultimately the responsibility of the organisers of the individual competitions.

• Home Internationals
