Bat Branding
« on: October 07, 2010, 08:21:13 AM »

Looking at the way different companies brand their bats, which do you prefer? For me, I think the Newbery "Weapon" approach was a classic...

Mjolnir, or Thor's Hammer
Uzi and Navarone, or well known guns
B-52, or heavy bomber

Well we always say that a Newbery "goes like a gun"....

I like newbery's sps, players, 5* models more. However i think puma's names and numbers make it very clear too.

Motorbike racing in the Isle of Man like Mike said, and you were right with the Tourist Trophy :)

Isle of Man Tourist Trophy. It's also been known to mean Time Trial in other racing sports.

Does the BMF sticker on the back of the Uzi's really stand for what I think it stands for?! Also what does SPS stand for?
