I would be happy to have a source of reasonably priced quality reproduction hoods without logos. The ones that I have found (Euro-Asia?) work but are rather unattractive due to the pronounced seam from the mold. I don't need to have an exact reproduction down to the logo for my bikes which are all riders rather than concours bikes.

I also think that any enterprise seeking to make and sell such items won't last long unless they get the green light from the original manufacturer or current holder of any rights to the name or designs being reproduced.
