"All contracts going forward will have the paper grade name listed as Classic or Premium vs the more brand designative Bicycle and Bee."

Attached is a list of rules and details but basically that's the summary. No Bicycle or Bee labelled custom decks. Same stock tho to be clear.
So does the use of the name Bicycle or Bee apply when naming the type of stock used or does it extend to any use of Bicycle on the tuck or in other words Bicycle branded custom decks?
A deck a day helps keep the addiction at bay!

Custom Bicycle decks are still possible but may be vetted more carefully I think. Have asked for a little more info. I wasn't able to print 'Bee' on my first tucks but used the name in promotion. In reality it's a name change, but a shame if you value the brands like myself.

"Due to the proprietary rights of our business, we ask that any references you currently use to Bicycle or Bee paper be removed. We ask that you use the terms Classic and Premium paper going forward.'

Why are they doing something so stupid to take the brand name off that has been their "trademark" name for so long??? You see a branded Bicycle/Bee deck and you know automatically it will be a quality paper.
Move on, nothing to see here.

Just from the snippets I'm seeing, it appears you are no longer able to refer to USPCC paper stock as either Bicycle stock or Bee stock, but rather as Classic stock or Premium stock. I think custom decks can still be branded as Bicycle or Bee on the custom tucks as long as you meet their criteria just as before.

I finally got my decks, man oh man.
These might just be my favorite Kickstarter decks of all time.
I can't even think of one right now that I was more impressed with.
Factoring in the price point, Origins Shadows of History might be my favorite deck of the year.
