Ricky Wysocki has the worst Nick-Name and logo in all of disc golf

Change my mind

I'll take that logo over four jagged slashes.

I dunno, I kinda cringe every time I hear Scotty Too Hotty opcorn:

Can't be a very long list, who else has a nickname AND logo? Is just Paul and Ricky?

Depends on usage. Sockibomb is OK by itself. But if you go with the whole Ricky 'Sockibomb' Wysocki thing, it's too much.

Its less redundant than Ricky 'Why so sucky' Wysocki. Personally I refer to him as 3Boob (for his PDGA number, not any surplus of nipples).

I think all of this nickname branding in disc golf is very cringe worthy. It makes sense in stuff like pro gaming where your identity is tied to your player handle, but it pretty much ends there.

CoolDaddySlickBreeze. Seems like a really nice guy and I like the promotional work he does for DD, but that's an awful nickname for anybody, much less a middle-aged man

Sockibomb is lame AF. As far as the logo, whoever developed it did damn fine with what they were given. It's clean, readable and aggressive without being over the top. Then you get back to, Sockibomb is lame AF.

I've never understood the connection between the person and nickname myself.

So you're saying I shouldn't style myself as No.Va?

I know it's not an actual nickname per se and he doesn't have a logo but Zack Melton as mountain Bob Ross is pretty hilarious and fitting. Seems like a good guy too.

I still chuckle whenever the jomez vid when they put Bob Ross in as the thumbnail, pops up on my youtube feed, lol...

I think Eagle is a pretty dumb nickname...wait, that's his actual name.

 

[Stable]

His move to Innova would have been a good opportunity to separate from the 'SockiBomb' name. I think it's turrible. His game is enough to sell plastic. You don't need a wild nickname or an extroverted personality to market yourself. I remember so many Air Jordan commercials back in the day where Mike wouldn't say a word. Everyone associated his brand with excellence in the game & that was enough.

History. Ask him. He'll tell you the story.

 

[Streets]

As far as nicknames go...there's definitely worse in DG...like CoolDaddySlickBreeze...give me a break. Sockibomb's not awful...not great either.

That sounds like a side effect from a new prescription drug.
