[edit] Fair use

It is believed that the use of this image in the Stoke City F.C. article qualifies as fair use under U.S. law because:

The logo serves as the primary means of visual identification of the main subject of the article.
The article is for educational purposes only.
The logo is of a low resolution and is of no use in the creation of counterfeit goods.
The use of the logo in the article does not limit or otherwise affect the club's ability to use the original.
The logo is not used in such a way as to imply that the article is written or authorised by the club.
This is a corporate logo, hence a free alternative for this image is not available.
It is the only image that can be used to illustrate the current Stoke City F.C. crest.
