FIRST car decals
 
I was just wondering if anybody saw these car decals? http://www.ebay.com/itm/261360310549?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p39 84.m1555.l2649
He seems to have others on his store too. Finally something for us to put on our car, that isn't the "Honor Student" bumper sticker!

The seller appears to be committing copyright infringement, but that's a different issue altogether.

I recall getting a nice car window decal that says

FIRST
VOLUNTEER
www.usfirst.org


at the Championship, one recent year.

It also has the FIRST logo. I think the decal was given to all CMP volunteers.

And I am pretty sure Don is right, the decal linked by the OP does not appear to conform to FIRST's standards.

Agreed. It's a nice thought though. I'd love to have a Official FIRST decal.

Volunteer decals were mailed out to all volunteers several years ago. They look nothing like the ones on eBay though.

I have one on my fork truck.
I need another one for my car.

Really? That takes the shine off the idea entirely, since that's not how it was presented. How do you know? I'm curious.

We do not KNOW, but here is some evidence: The seller is from Pinellas Park, Florida. tedbell is from Florida. This was tedbell's first post, since he joined December 2013, but his rookie year is "2000" and he is not associated with any team. And would he put an "honor student" bumper sticker on his car, if he was a freshman in 2000 (making him around 30 years old...)?

No, certainly not proof, but circumstantial evidence. YMTC.

Since your location is listed as Florida and the shipping location on the ebay item is Florida, Alex is making a pretty good assumption.

I have sent an email to Frank with the ebay link. They need to be made aware of this as things like this that go unspoken only hurt the teams that do ask permission to fundraise for their teams with the FIRST logo.

may I suggest this thread be locked and deleted. The purpose of the thread is complete. Leaving it open only advertises an item the violates FIRST's Copyright.

Not that I condone the use of images and resources one does not have legal right to, I do find it funny that people seem to care a lot more about a FRC logo up for sale just because it is from FIRST, when this kinda of 'Trademark infringement' happens all over the place on the internet.
