Quite a mouthful to say, and the logo looks like it should be the Legos PBA Tour, but at least the tour is still attracting sponsorship. Better than no tour at all wink.

I am just glad that they have a company willing to put up the $$$ for the tour. Nice to see that Dennys is still putting up some dough too. I just hope that we see a lot less of the WRW Jr. commercial grin

Hmmm... It mentions October 1st and unveiling a logo in the same breath. Maybe there is a better one that will come out then?

In any case, hurray for the continued life of the tour, and it's cool to see Fagan and Kretzer get picked as sponsees as well.

Hopefully this is the last time we have to see it.

Haha now we'll get to see the Lumber Liquidators commercial over and over smile "This is a picture of our first Lumber Liquidators..."

As a graphic designer, I have to say that the new logo is awful in production, but then again...that can be said with a lot of the PBA's aesthetic choices over the years. I still think their best logo to date was ( http://www.mybowler.com/Communities/Common/Images/HtmlTextBoxUserImages/pba%20logo.jpg )

Glad to see the tour still alive and getting sponsors. I supposed we can't be too critical as they can only do so much with so little.

Does Walter Ray now get to drop wood flooring in his lap over and over again?

PBA will never be the same until we get Beer and Cigarette commercials back. Can't see it happening.

Now if they could get sponsor to sponsor the PWBA. The women need a "real" tour for themselves. The USBC thing is nice, but what is it 4-5 weeks?
