Team Sponsorship Suggestions
« on: March 01, 2013, 10:38:21 am »
I'm going to sponsor my son's baseball team this year, and that entitles me to put a name on the back of the shirt.

While I do need the tax write-off, and want to help out his team, I don't have a company I want to promote.

So I need suggestions.  Of course Chico's Bail Bonds is my favorite, and I am considering Vandelay Industries, but I was curious to see if you freaks could come up with anything better (within the bounds of taste...it's a 12u league).

I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

I had a softball team called Elvis' Doctors. We were all called Dr. Nick, wore scrubs, had a shower curtain over the dugout entrance and shook pill bottles for rallies.

Duff, apparently brewed in Germany, was sold all over Italy in December, and my daughter says it's sold all over Spain.  It's apparently very popular, and just as lousy as you'd expect.

There was a long-lived intramural basketball team in college named The Cunning Runts. They didn't allow anybody over 6' on their team.

There was a long-lived intramural basketball team in college named The Cunning Runts. They didn't allow anybody over 6' on their team.

A UK TV/Radio funnyman - Kenny Everett - had an over-the-top Hollywood starlet character that he would do on his TV show.  The way he told it, his original name for her - "Mary Hinge" - was nixed after the censors clocked the spoonerism.  They green-lighted his alternative, however, "Cupid Stunt".  As I said, that's how he told it.

I had a softball team called Elvis' Doctors. We were all called Dr. Nick, wore scrubs, had a shower curtain over the dugout entrance and shook pill bottles for rallies.

My team was The Swingin' Dicks. Every player had "Richard" across the back of his jersey, above his number, and this girl I knew silk-screened a bat with two baseballs up near the knob on the fronts. We kicked ass in church league slow-pitch.

One year one of our opposing teams - again in a church league - was called The Oral Roberts Waist-High Revival. Good team, too.
