The designer of the T-shirt knew there was an active Team AMIGA and chose that name anyway? I haven't read about this, and I'd really like to.

The designer of the T-shirt apparently wasn't aware of an existing Team Amiga. When he posted here about the design, I replied that there was already a Team Amiga and maybe he'd have to check with Gary Peake about using the name. He said he appreciated the info and would check into it.

Team Amiga isn't very visible, existing only as a mailing list, and I haven't seen the sig much except maybe for Skal Loret's. They had a plan to do a web site, which I was involved with in the early stages, but nothing came of it. If and when the desktop OS starts looking interesting again, maybe they'll go for it, but my impression from the ML is that it's mostly an old boys' (and a few girls') club more interesting in making small talk than putting together advocacy web sites. No offense meant, of course. A nice little community ML is good in itself, and among those people there's a long-standing strong attachment to the Team Amiga name.
