bailki, ifmyou are talking about the Days Inn, etc patches, theey are indeed paid sponsors of the PBA. That's why you see those patches. The only logos, etc allowed are those of registered companies and sponsors. As far as the Cobra and other wries supports, etc. It is the responsibilty of the bowler, whether a member or not, to be aware of who the registered companies are. Earliee\r this year, I had to bowl without my Master Wrist Support, because I had forgotten that Master is no longer a register company. Until last year (I think) NO logos on pants were allowed, now, as long as they are not really noticible, they are OK. It can be a hassle, but that's the way it is, if you want to enter a PBA event, make sure you know the rules.
