    Default Anybody have their team sponsored by a company?

    I almost got my team sponsored last season by a local beer company but at the last minute they changed the terms so i was out. I wanna try again this coming season and im posting to see if anyone else has their team sponsored. Prob gonna try a different craft brew company around here as there are a lot and im sure theyd like to get their name out there

    I wish a beer company would sponsor our drinking habit. We have our captain's company sponsor us for shirts. The rest is all on our own.

    I though pretty much everybody's team was sponsored by a company. Mine is sponsored by one of my teammates employer, which is a steel company.

    For several years the Monday team I used to bowl on was sponsored by a local pazza resturaunt/parlor. They bought us Gemini shirts and supplied a large sausage/chees pizza for our opponents and us to share.

    Never gonna have a sponsor for our team. Not unless a new cereal named "Suck Flakes" is coming out that I don't know about.

    Well, in the company league I play in all the teams are. It used to be that you had to work at that company to be on the team with only 1 or 2 external players allowed each season (who then counted as internal players after a few years). They've laxed on the rules a bit in the last few years in order to keep teams from having to fold....they even let a team be sponsored by a music club instead of a company. Our team is sponsored by my dad's friend's painting company. I don't think we get that much, just some of the league costs are paid, we still have to pay for all the bowling ourselves. Some of the teams that are sponsored by big companies have some or all of their bowling costs paid as well.

    pretty much what im looking for. I bowl in a vegas league so getting sponsored by a beer company would be perfect. Not to mention i always like to support the craft beer community here in San diego

    I got a call last month from a cereal company, wanted us to wear shirts that said: Strike-E-O's!! A cereal that had the shape of bowling pins, and round marshmallows shaped like bowling balls! I wanted to give it a try, but I didn't have the SPARE time! So they struck out with us!

    If you found a 10 pin in your bowl you won a 10 dollar gift certificate to be used for your next box of Strike-E-O's.

    Their Logo was: STRIKE OUT EVERY TIME
    WITH-STRIKE-O'S
    B 4 before you bowl!!!

    We decided we would rather wear a Nylon hose over our heads and call ourselves, Pin robbers!! It looks cool and we all wear them now! It has
    increase my average almost too much! I feel guilty wear the Hose over
    over my head, what a cheap way to increase ones average, and look real
    sharp at the same time!

    WE all have that BAD BOY, look now!! I have pictures,,,,

    Our sponsor now is a bunch of great guys at fulsome Prison!! They furnish everything!!
