Are the primary AL and NL logos in use anywhere?

I know the Cubs have the National League logo on their blue jersey, but you don't see it, or its American League conterpart, utilized very much these days. Both logos are pretty intricate, so I understand why they are not in widespread use on embroidered merchandise, but they are both so historic, it is a shame they are not used more often.

A quick scan of mlb.com only showed these alternates:

I've seen them used on Cardinals broadcasts during interleague play where the two logos are both trying to grab a baseball, but that's about it.

Cal Ripken sells jerseys with those logos on the sleeves. It has a stitched logo that says Ripken Basball on the front though.

The Cubs wear the National League patch on the sleeve of their blue alternate jersey.

I much prefer the primary AL and NL logos to those oversimplified alternates. I get why they're used less, but when space permits a logo large enough to show the details of the primaries, the primaries should be used. They look a million times better than those alternates.

i love the fact that the cubs use the full national league shield as a secondary logo on the blue alts. i always thought it was because the cubs are the only charter national league team that has stayed in its original city. of the team decided to put it on there just to be different, that works too.

i wish the fully detailed league logos would make more appearances, but i guess with there being no more national league or american league presidents and both leagues essentially under one roof instead of being fairly independent of each other in the past, generic logos are what's in.
