PBA: BRUNSWICK DROPPING LOGOS

Brunswick reported is dropping Professional Bowling Association registration for logos on jerseys for three of its brands in 2025, according to a message obtained by 11thframe.com.

Brunswick will register only Brunswick, DV8, Hammer and Ebonite as logos that can be worn on PBA player jerseys this season. Track, Radical and Columbia will not be registered, meaning PBA logos must be removed.

However, Track, Radical and Columbia bowling balls can be used in PBA competition, according to PBA commissioner Tom Clark.

Brunswick’s Brian Graham said in a message exchange with 11thframe.com, “It is important to note that there was a change to the 2025 product registration program, and after considering many different options, we believe that we selected the best option for Brunswick and our pro staff.”

When asked what the change was, Graham said that “The PBA increased the fees for 2025.” 

Brunswick bought the Ebonite Bowling International baud’s in 2019 and decided at that time to register all seven with the PBA.
