All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Gray area.
Yes, it's illegal to use a player or team logo without the proper permissions (which are usually obtained by paying royalties).
However, that shirt has the number 83, the name Evans, and a logo that sort of resembles a Bills logo but really isn't a Bills logo. There is no image of the player's face. So, technically it is legal because there is nothing that confirms it's Lee Evans of the Buffalo Bills. We all KNOW it is because that's how we associate the name and the number, but that's not what it specifically says.
