The inevitable 2020 Pros switching sponsor/DD hate thread

[Streets]

Has any pro said publicly "I'm sponsored by Trilogy" ? opcorn:

I'm surprised anyone says that publicly.

It's trilogy, but the the sponsorship is never provided in thirds. Odd combinations like 3/8 Dynamic Disc, 1/2 Westside, and 1/8 Latitude 64. But, it's even more complicated than that. Lat64 and DD are co-owners of Westside, and I don't know those percentages — it might be 50/50 — so the Westside percentage is actually part DD and part Lat64. It's all very confusing.

All I can confirm is that the players are supposed to wear team merchandise flair, minimum 15 pieces, in alignment with the percentages of their sponsorship. It's in their contracts. Rumor is Robert McCall really tracked people's flair. Created lots of friction. Main reason he was moved out of the Team Manager position to Marketing team. People grew tired of his flair reports.

You've got to be joking...right?

There's a movie reference or two in there. I just started making up BS and kept going. Scary that it sounds like something DD would require. Full disclosure: the Escape is my favorite disc.

Watch Office Space, you'll get it.

I think it may be a relatively quiet transfer season. Conrad and Vinny clearly are hot commodities; both are Star Team members. And, with Holly Finley being the FPO team captain for Innova, for the sake of equity, she likely also belongs on Star Team. So, either a person is dropped, or they expand the team by one slot.

It makes sense for the Trilogy group to recruit one of these two to strengthen their lineup. After last year's frantic moves, Trilogy may feel the need to get that sort of tier 1 echelon player back into the mix.

Conrad is signed through next year with Innova.

My local dg (chain) shop. There is certain prodigy molds that fly off the shelf, but majority is just collecting dust. There hasn't been barely any demand to order more of them in to store past this summer/year. :\

The thing to watch out with that, though, is that brand popularity seems to be incredibly regional. Around here, city to city you can see different brands dominate the players' bags. Obviously not 100% but the spread seems to be there.

Barsby to discraft??
this is from the VPO this past weekend

I think that he's just wearing a "CRAFT" brand rain jacket. You get a better look at the logo on the back of the jacket.

Not saying he is or isn't going to Discraft, just that you shouldn't read too much into that logo.

*no, I'm not calling Barsby a she. Just the first thing I thought of is all

This, and it seem like every brand has some molds that sit on the shelf forever. Thinking of the wall of innova, trilogy and discraft at the local store, there has to be a bunch of duds in there

It appears to be a black version of this jacket.

Barsby signed a 2-year deal with Innova at the start of this season. If he's changing brands, it won't be for at least another year.

Seems like a questionable choice in branding that I'm sure Innova doesn't appreciate.

lol what?

It's very clearly a completely different, unrelated brand with no ties to discgolf other than Greg wearing one of their jackets. It's not Greg, Discraft, or Craft's fault that someone saw a partial logo and jumped to conclusions.
