If I took a photo at a car show of a race car with sponsors names on the car, would I be required to get permission from the owner and sponsors to print and sell the photos?
And, as long as you do not sell it, you should be OK.
Acoarst you can sell it.
Many photos include trademarked items.
Aside from any (false) concerns about infringement, consider the intent of the owners of the trademarks: The owners want them seen ! Movie producers dont pay to show trademarked products. The trademark owners have to pay for their products exposure. What about all those trademarks boldly displayed at sporting events ? Do you think ESPN needs those owners permission for that ?!?!

There's a world of difference between displaying something and selling something to make a profit. You need some remedial training on 'Fair Use". Best of luck.
