Well in europe most countries dont use it since english is not the main language. Therefore the simpler term missing is more mainstream.

Ah true enough, whatever system you use is all good.

I'm sure they aren't going to care about 5-20 shirts I make, mostly for my friends.
It's basically wearable fanart, so I am almost 100% sure there wouldn't be an issue. ESPECIALLY, if I'm not making a profit from it.

When you do make them, you should take pictures and ask to be on the summoner showcase. It could be like a 5v5 irl.

If they wanted to work on the edges of the law, they might sue you in order to utilize what is in all practicality a form of collateral estoppel. While their use of your case certainly does not fit perfectly into the already non-traditional concept of offensive, non-mutual collateral estoppel, assuming the appropriate jurisdiction utilizes such concepts, the rationale behind it might be useful to them.
And Riku, don't get me started by saying "-_-, it's not really CE!!!" I know it's not. It's the idea that I'm trying to get at.
In other words, they might go after you (an extreme case) so that when they sue people making money off mass produced tshirts they can say "we won against Riku, a 21 year old girl making tshirts for her friends, this case is easy."
Precedent is what's really at issue. But I mention CE because when they mention your case, they've essentially won all future cases.
You ever wonder why movie companies sue poor grandmas who downloaded Will Smith's "Hitch" then erased it the next day? It's not because they're stupid. They want the tough cases. You'd be Riot's granny.
Of course, you can't forgot how the concepts of pendent jurisdiction and the Brennan's sliding scale test might be detrimental to the purported parties.
