While I understand they want to re-brand and the reasons behind it, it just seems like it has become a larger hassle then they may have thought.

I'm no FIRST rep, but if I'm reading page 16 right...

...you can put it on other colors. You just can't wash out the colors, or use a really annoying pattern. Your site oughta be alright.
