Can they do that? Isn't a public seal.. public? Doesn't that fall into the same area as using an image of the flag?
Do I have any more questions?

Ah yes, but a seal is no mere logo or flag. A seal's purpose is to attest to the authenticity of something. It serves as solid evidence. A seal cannot be used around all willy nilly. It's very seal-rious!

what if I got a Chicago seal tattoo? What would the City of Chicago do about that?
I always wanted to get a giant bald eagle tattoo across my enitre back. (What's the point a getting a tiny tattoo on your ankle? If you gonna tattoo, then tattoo!) A year ago I decided that a
ruler tattoo would be cooler. Now, there's extra motivation to get a City of Chicago seal tattoo.
Oooh! I bet they'd confiscate your [body part where tattoo was located]!

I KNOW YOU CAN GET IN BIG TROUBLE FOR TAKING THE PRESIDENTIAL SEAL AND MAKING T-SHIRTS. DO NOT DO THAT!

The seal was designed in 1905, and any work authored before 1922 is in the public domain, meaning it is free to use.
I don't know why anyone would want to put it on a tee shirt. It's a horribly dated seal that's really quite offensive. The baby in the sea shell at the top represents the first white person born in Chicago... that's CREEPY!!!
