Before you choose Class 25
Class 25 is clothing, footwear and headwear, and it is one of the most crowded classes. The USPTO can refuse a clothing mark as "merely ornamental" when it only appears as a large design across the front of a shirt. Using it on a neck label or hang tag, the way a brand name is normally shown, avoids that.
