Is there a lawyer who could give me legal advice?

Just Me asked:


I applied for a trademark through my state for home decor. I make candles and want to label them with a local saying adopted by our baseball team. I do the candle in the team colors and want to name the candle with the saying. I don’t want people to knock off my idea of doing the candle this way which is why I want the trademark. I was awarded the trademark by the state using this saying with a team symbol for candles only. I was told the team owns the trademark for sports related items, clothing, stickers, etc.. They also have a service mark. I am not selling my candles as a product of the team, it is more a signature item of mine that is not offered everywhere. The state assures me that I am protected by state law to use it on candles. There is no federal trademark of the team with this logo. It is state only. Can using this cause me problems? If so, would I get sued first, or ask to turn the rights over to them?
I didn’t realize if I should have gotten an attorney involved first. I put my trust in the state with the $75 check I sent them. I have been worried about this all weekend. Should I terminate this trademark purchase antibiotics online and forgo my plans of making candles like this? This started when a friend said he’d be worried. Like I said, the man in the state office I spoke to said they would not be able to let me use it if it could cause problems and I am within my rights to use it. I may be making something out of nothing since I am a worrier.
