You are probably right.
Which reminds me of an incident in a the similar vein
:

An F1 fan was sued by Ferrari for building a replica
Ferrari F1 car, displaying it on his front yard. He
lost the case and had to pay Ferrari $$$$liras for
infringment on the Ferrrrrrrarrrrri name. Can you
imagine Nascar's pitch of the league as "one big happy
family" sueing a fan for doing it ? Different strokes
for different cultures I guess.
