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.
Glad you did that! For the sake of using the right channels in the future- anything regarding FIRST branding should be sent to marketing@usfirst.org rather than FRC staff. (I've already done so for this listing, including sending them the ChiefDelphi thread.)

This includes asking for PERMISSION to use the logo outside of the given branding standards (Easily accessible on usfirst.org - About Us>>Branding Standards), whether it's for sale or not.

FIRST obviously means a lot to the people on this forum. Also, the FIRST logo is a work of art done by someone (specifically, Jack Kamen - Dean's father.) That topic has been discussed many times on Chief, especially during the LogoMotion season. I think it's really nice that people are popping up to defend FIRST, as Chief is not a place where FIRST staff does that on their own.

Good going, FIRST community.
