On a more serious subject and back on topic, after the T with the Acura symbol on it got removed the same day I put it up there (by Zazzle itself), I just received this today:

So, unless someone here at AW has a license to use the word Acura, as in the forum name for instance, this looks like a lot of wasted time. If AW has permission/license to use the symbol or wording, perhaps there is a way to extend it to the sale of t-shirts, etc.
BTW, the one in question that was removed was the last one...the red and black sort of modern design.
