Many years ago, my uncle went to pick up his new car. There was a metal dealer medallion on the left side of the trunk, and the dealers name also on the license plate frame. . My uncle saw them, asked how much he was getting paid for the advertising. Refused to take the car until they took them off. They obliged. 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my cars have the model or trim level on them. If the manufacturer badge wasn't on a raised metal bed it would come off too. Yes, I've turned into my grandfather. 😃 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bu-bu-but how will you ever let the world and thousands of impressionable umpires know you’ve got – and, by associative encouragement and messaging, they must go and purchase – a Wilson Gold CP??!!

So a very quick Google search pulled up this company. It might be the same company or one that was bought from the original. But that emblem just doesn't look a hell of a lot like the sticker on the breast plate of my AA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day--when Parsons had good stuff--I had the Kevlar segmented chest protector in an older version than the one depicted here. It was spectacular! It was around the time I had had open heart surgery, and my cardiologist didn't want me doing the plate for two months! I would have missed the whole season, so I showed him the chest protector, and he relented! He was actually impressed. The structure resembled that of a police "Second Chance" vest. I bought new equipment a few years later and donated that gear to the Euro Regional Umpire development program. Mike Las Vegas 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’m equally intrigued by its potential, the (rather poorly written) article doesn’t even hint as to how it behaves or is realized as. Even Kevlar is “stronger and lighter than steel”, but is utterly useless as a structural material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
