They had a big launch programme planned, a load of stuff on their website, and a whole lot of stuff about strengthening their own brand through the brands they've worked with - that got dragged out from under them at the last minute and they'll have done a load of work that didn't see the light of day - I'm sure they were paid for it, but you'd imagine they'd still see it as a waste of time.
You're right though, I'm guessing they'd still take our pound if offered.
Heck has a good relationship with a very well regarded agency (that I can't remember the name of, but they're in this thread somewhere) who designed all the 76'ers stuff with him - they'd probably be a decent pick.
