If you were to create them as a vector based images (in a better program than paint) you could resize them as big or small as please wanted then export as .jpg (or whatever) and they would retain their quality.
Ahhh, what a nice assortment of laddies you have Mr Ghoulrealm. I like how some of those customs are comprised entirely of pieces from non pirate sets.

That is rather recent indeed. All the recent Pirate LEGO paraphernalia I've seen has been focused towards the 2004 4+ designs. Its very interesting that The LEGO Group should start using a Classic Pirates design - unless of course they just stumbled across a supply of towels that's been sitting in a warehouse for the past 15 years.
Does the towel have a small tag on it specifying which year the design is copyrighted to?
Bricklink should state the condition of the mini-figures and if one is broken that should be specified. If not the seller is obliged to take action otherwise negative feedback could be left.
