"Officially licensed" Commodore jerseys on Amazon
On Amazon, "Score Draw" offers retro jerseys of German soccer clubs, among others also red and white jerseys with "Commodore" logo. In contrast to jerseys of other teams, these are not complete copies of the original jerseys: on the "official Commodore retro jerseys from 1986" (product description of the producer) the logo and the name of the corresponding club are missing - the FC Bayern München is not mentioned even in the article description.
Obviously the license for the brand of the Munich team would have been to expensive - since Score Draw does promoting his article as "officially licensed" it is probable that he reached an agreement with the owner of the Commodore brand rights. What the original Bayern jersey looked like you can see on the website of the Trikot-Museum.

Game: Reshoot R released
Press release: Bombs away for Reshoot R - Modern action for the retro platform Amiga
Pürge/Übersee, May 28th, 2019: The development studio spieleschreiber and the publisher APC&TCP today announce the availability of the retro action game Reshoot R.
After almost three years of development, Reshoot R finally lights up its laser cannons - as you'd expect, for original Amiga hardware. The horizontal scrolling shoot'em up, in the style of classics like "R-Type", throws the player into an exciting space battle. In five elaborately designed themed worlds, fighter pilots fight side-by-side with the courageous space heroine Aryn against the attacks of the evil Tars species.
The action remains faithful to arcade traditions to combine elaborate high-end visuals with high-speed, demanding challenges. Fast gameplay, breathless dynamics, and exciting tension peaks characterise the fight between the heroine and the ballet of attack waves. Extra weapons and power-ups support her in her fight for survival. If your battle is fought successfully, eternal glory awaits you in the automatically saved highscore list. In addition, there is a premiere for Amiga action games: Those pilots can enter their performance on an internet ranking website and so they can compare their skills against those of other gamers.
Reshoot R is initially available as three seperate releases: Download Edition, Pure Edition and Signature Edition. The Pure Edition includes the game on CD-ROM and a printed manual. The Signature Edition has the game on CD-ROM, with a printed manual including a making-of special and the soundtrack on a separate audio CD. The audio CD soundtrack is also available separately.
All Amiga products are now available in the online shop of APC&TCP. Any specialist dealers who want to offer Reshoot R directly to their customers may contact APC&TCP by e-mail for details.

Individual Computers has released a firmware update for the IDE controller Buddha Flash. Version 52.101 fixes two bugs both occuring when "crossing a 32-bit boundary under certain conditions".

Additionally new controllers ("Anniversary Edition") will be produced and are supposed to be available not later than by mid June. Pre-orders are possible.

Lawsuit: Cloanto is not entitled to sue
After three previous setbacks, Cloanto again had to face a defeat in court in the legal dispute with Hyperion. According to the order of the court from 16th May (PDF file, 129 KB), Cloanto is not entitled to sue against Hyperion based on the Settlement Agreement from 2009.
Only with regard to the registration of Amiga trademarks in Europe by Hyperion, Cloanto was successful: Since Hyperion only is allowed to use certain Amiga trademarks by the Settlement Agreement worldwide, according to the court the usage of further Amiga trademarks could be understood as infringement of the Settlement Agreement.
