same hat, although I do make cosplay and related things so I feel...both sides-ish? I'm a super fandom old so the idea of charging for fic is just weird to me, but I also embroider obscure fandom logos on fleece so what do.

I was always brought up fandom-wise to not use trademarked names or anything that could be easily found by the dumbest corporate lawyer who knows how to google, and also to make it demonstrably different from anything available from a license-holder. Well, now you can google your Hogwarts house or Avengers by name and get thousands of results from bootleggers and etsys and whothefuck knows what so I feel like it's open season in terms of physical merch, but I still wouldn't download screencaps and print them onto anything and claim it as my merch. I have to do some level of physical work to design and create the clothing item I want to sell before I let myself do it. Which leads to the second part - demonstrably different from anything the parent company or its license holders are producing. If ain't no one anyone in the world making, say, purses with Kingdom Hearts symbols embroidered on them, then by golly the fact that someone would buy one off me means there's a market so joke's on Squeenix for not marketing that shit.

(hyperbolic example; Squeenix licenses some ridiculously awesome shit)

This makes sense to me. I only really buy fan-created things that don't exist as licensed products, anyway.
