Unfortunately, that is what our society has become. Personnally, I like the logo and would gladly put one on my vette. (The "new" one)

Anyway, where can I get the mirror print and decal?

An infringement must be dealt with otherwise an organization looses their rights to a trademark, name or logo. You've infringed and they are exercising their right. I'm one of those stuffy members (the non stuffy type) but equally entertainmed by it all.

I do not see ANY similarities. One logo is round and the other is rectangular. 2 different type fonts for NCRS also explaining what the letters stand for (does the National Corvette Restorers Society own those letters of the alphabet ?? ). The cross flags is a registered trademark of GM. I highly doubt they would bother for two reasons: (1) We are CORVETTE OWNERS (2) They have bigger things to spend attorney fees on.

Their attorneys do NOT scare me one bit (can't get water out of a rock ). Those stuffy "Restorers Society" people need to loosen their ties and/or get a life.

So, anyone who has bought any stickers and/T-shirts, show and wear them proud. Ecpecially at the NCRS meets, Bloomington Gold, & Carlisle.
'Parody' (satire) is a WELL-protected right under the First Amendment- and has been upheld a kajillion times in court.
Tell 'em where to put it, IMHO. They know they're full of sh*t- they're just trying to spook you.

You'd think that these guys would have better-things to do with their time.....
like check the inside of tail-light lenses for particles of dust.

Norm:
which organization do you think Big E, or even Duntov would belong-to, 'our' NCRS, or 'their' NCRS?


My girl-friend and I wore 'our' NCRS T-shirts to several Corvette-functions this summer:
while it many Corvette-owners were 'aghast' at it, the dudes with lumpy-idle cams, hood-scoops, and wide tires just smiled and nodded.

Better-yet, a hooded-sweatshirt, in Canary Yellow (!), so us guys 'up-North' can bother their attorneys who have their Corvette in-storage for the Winter!

No more T-shirts available and have been sold out since the August. That's why I say they really have too much time on their hands.

If I had the technology/know-how to post the letter I would so everyone can see who the attorneys are and then everyone can write them back telling them how we feel.
