Can someone please help me?
 
I am wanting an OSU (Oklahoma State)Cowboys skin. Does anyone know where I can find one or can someone pretty please make one for me?

Thanks so much for your help!

Unlikely you'll find one on here, we removed all football style skins a while back after complaints by our web masters etc etc

Shucks :( ... Thanks for your help!

o_O Complaints from the webmaster? About football skins? Jones, is that something you're allowed to elaborate on? 'Cause I'm genuinely curious why that type of skin would be something you'd have to remove from the site.

Elaborate on?, it's been in the FAQ for nearly 4 years.....

What happend to the sports skins?

AOL owns Nullsoft, the company that publishes Winamp and upkeep's the Winamp.com web site. Recently (August 31ish, 2001) AOL corporate notified the Webmaster of Winamp.com that they were very displeased by the fact that Winamp.com allowed major league sport skins to be published on their website. A list of skins to be deleted was sent along with this message, as well as the instructions not to publish any more 'NBA, NHL, MLB, NFL or college team skins' on the site. We of the Skin Review Squad apologise to the authors of such skins, and suggest that you try DeviantArt,1001 Winamp Skins, or any other of the numerous sites that publish Winamp skins.
Something to do with one of AOL corporate partners not wanting 'unofficial' designs and so on. It's a reasonable request, if I were pumping millions into sponsorship etc etc I wouldn't want someone making unofficial designs out of my stuff, even if they wern't making any money off it they might still be drawing people away from my merchandise that you have to purchase.

Such is the perils of copyright infringement.

Ah. Heh, sorry. I guess I should read through the entire FAQ. >_> I just never thought to look, since I have no interest in professional sports. I never noticed there weren't any sports skins on the site. =P
