I wouldn't worry about it so much, up until last year there were still sponsors using the old old logo on their websites. I presume there will be a year or so of overlap for printed materials, even within FIRST as it would be really wasteful just to throw them out.
The thing that is really bugging me about the new website right now is that they have quite literally broken every single link to any FIRST page everywhere online. Google anything about FIRST and click the link, it will be broken. They could have done a much better job when phasing out the old url and done a full sitemap re-direct instead of a full url redirect, so that all of the content still shows up.
While FIRST doesn't really care about SEO because they have some help in that regards, it will be frustrating for quite some time.
Thankfully this link still works, which is the one I use 99% of the time.
