If a vendor puts patterned letters on a sweatshirt requested by a customer it is the VENDOR'S responsibility to cover all bases related to copyrights. If they advertise a pattern and seem legit, it is assumed they have the right to use it.
If they did not have the right to use the pattern the worse that would happen to the customer is they might be asked to return the letters. Any other issues are the VENDOR'S problem for advertising something they did not have the right to sell.
I'm speaking from personal experience, I have seen it happen.
