Bowling T-Shirts, a Cheaper Team Identity.
Bowling t-shirts is an alternative to polo and classic or retro bowling shirts. Bowling t-shirts have other qualities too.
1. Of course, bowling t-shirts are normally less expensive than the other bowling shirts. So for a team buying their own bowling shirts, this would make a lot of sense or cents. The lower cost would also be a selling point to a perspective sponsor, interested in promoting their business locally.
2. Bowling t-shirts are available in more sizes than the other bowling shirts. Now this can come in handy, for a team with a size range of bowlers. It can be frustrating, if your team picks out a design and color, but it isn’t available in one bowlers size. Then you are back to the drawing board? Boy, I’ve been there before.
3. Bowling t-shirts are more available locally. Usually a t-shirt business is in the next town or down the street. So you can deal with the owner face to face, and maybe even get a little creative. Plus, if you are working with a sponsor, let them get involved too. Let the sponsor show some ownership in your team’s identity. If the sponsor gets involved early with your team, the better the chance, they will stay with your team as a sponsor.
4. Bowling t-shirts have a more flexible design system. For example, local t-shirt business can create a design at a lower cost so to get your business, and gain exposure to the other bowling teams. This is how they sell their services, by showing off the quality of their work. So more exposure at the bowling alley, the better for their image and future sales.
5. Some bowlers have a problem with fitting comfortably into a bowling shirt or bowling t-shirt. So most local t-shirt businesses will let you try on the t-shirt before printing. At least, I have had success with this fitting process, then you know for sure the fit is right.
6. Bowling t-shirts are an easier sell to the sponsor, for next year’s replacements. Teams don’t need new bowling shirts every year, but they’ll take them?
7. Buying bowling t-shirts online may have the advantage of a larger design selection. The design you picked online, may not be available at your local t-shirt business? Some designs are protected, and can only be bought at certain businesses.
8. Buying bowling t-shirts online may be cheaper than your local t-shirt business, because of less overhead cost (no building or rent), no taxes (shipping will offset that most likely), and high volume online operation means lower pricing. So the final total cost and reputation of the business, will be a major consideration.
Therefore bowling t-shirts have certain advantages over the other bowling shirts. Just remember, what ever bowling shirts you or your team selects, the image and identity is presented to those all around you. Please be conscientious of that, so to use good taste in your designs. Especially watch out if you make fun of anything or person, what you may think is funny, someone else may not. Finally a bit of advice, if you want to make a lasting investment in a bowling t-shirt or bowling shirt, use a design you can wear for years to come, and not one you will be afraid to wear in the future?

Flash or Low Flash Is The Bowling Apparel Question?
As I mentioned in previous posts, I like a flashy bowling shirt for my bowling apparel. As far as bowling shoes, bowling bags, and other bowling equipment I’m mister average. But I believe we have different levels of flash, colorful bowling apparel, at the bowling alley.
First we have the coordinated bowling apparel bowler. Of course this includes the bowling shirt, pants, bowling shoes, bowling bag, bowling wrist support, and if possible the bowling ball? Now there is no mistaking the fashion statement with this coordinated bowling apparel outfit.
Secondly we have the single or double flash bowling apparel outfit. I fall into this category with a colorful bowling shirt, and may be bowling shoes, bowling bag, bowling wrist support, or sweat ban. This isn’t coordinated, but just a splash of colorful taste.
Third we have the color, color all over, thrown together bowling apparel. In this case the colors don’t match or even compliment each other, but are added for a colorful flash mixture. An example would be the Big Lebowski, and not the bowler Jesus.
Finally we have the casual bowler with their bowling apparel. Maybe a solid t-shirt or sweat shirt with blue jeans and not colorfully selected. This is me at practice time t-shirt and jeans, very average and blending in type bowling apparel.
One of the fun points about bowling is the bowling apparel, it’s like a costume or Halloween party every night. You can dress up or dress down as you feel like, and still have fun in the process. Mainly because, your bowling apparel outfit fits you and your game. Even league bowling teams with their team bowling shirts, still can coordinate or not with their bowling apparel. Therefore, what ever your mood or your game, bowling apparel gives you an outlet to express yourself. And then again, change next time to express your other self?
Why Do I Need Bowling Shoes?
I have heard mothers say, “Why do my kids need bowling shoes?” Even adults ask this question, after seeing the attendant walking around with their street shoes on oiling the lanes. Or after watching the attendant walk down the side of the lane, to remove a pin or bowling ball with street shoes on. I can see the problem.
Remember, the attendant isn’t sliding on the lanes approaches, like a bowler will. Also, they might fall down working around in bowling shoes, especially on the lanes. But the main reason for bowling shoes, is to slide on the approach without damaging the lanes. Now back at one time, Pete Weber, a Professional Bowler, wore tennis shoes on the PBA Tour to improve his traction. The tennis shoes where only used for bowling, and not worn outside the bowler centers. During that time, bowling centers allowed that, if the shoes were only used for bowling. But I haven’t seen it lately, and I think because too many bowlers abused the privilege. Just image checking everyone’s shoes, to see if they have dirt on them, before you can bowl? Then who is to say, someone can go outside and slip back in to bowl? The bowling lanes are expensive to maintain as it is now, so I can see the precautions. Also, the bowling center is responsible for any accidents on the premises. Besides, how can the bowling center rent bowling shoes over and over again, if everyone brought their own shoes?
As a parting bowling tip, there are basically 2 types of bowling shoes designs, right or left handed, and the universal. With the universal, like the bowling center bowling shoes, both shoes slide, so if you are right or left handed bowler, it doesn’t make any difference. Please check out some of my previous posts, for more information on the new innovations in bowling shoes. Have fun bowling, but be safe too. Enjoy bowling with friends, and let the conversations roll on.
Why Buy Preprinted Custom Bowling Shirt?
Usually, the sponsor buys a custom bowling shirt with their name advertised on it. But sometimes, the team or bowlers buys their own custom bowling shirt for casual or team bowling. Now this custom bowling shirt can be preprinted with an advertisement or interesting team name already on it. If the team doesn’t have a sponsor, then the team or bowler can select a design or statement that is already printed. Why you say? Well how about quality, very colorful, well designed, and cheaper, than if you had to custom print it yourself.
So, if you or your team are looking for a custom bowling shirt, what are your options? Buy a plain shirt or t-shirt, pay for a custom bowling shirt, or something in the middle. You can pick out any preprinted custom bowling shirt you want. The custom bowling shirt can show a bowling interest or attitude, make a funny statement, or emphasize an individual or team interest, say sports or a hobby. This is in the nature of enjoying the bowling atmosphere with your friends, and having fun with it too. The custom bowling shirt can spark laughs, conversions, or just be a colorful addition to the team, or your individual bowling character.
Remember, bowling doesn’t have to be a serious sport, unless you make it so. Have fun, and enjoy your bowling experience. So, you and your friends can’t wait till your next bowling adventure.
What are Unisex Universal Bowling Shoes?
These bowling shoes are one of the most cost effective choices to “House Shoes”, for the casual bowler. Discounted currently as much as 40%, it doesn’t take much math, to figure out the benefits of buying your own bowling shoes. With the discount, these are also the one of the cheapest bowling shoes around. But why are they so cheap?
Well one reason is the bowling soles are like “House Shoes”, universal. If you are right handed or left handed, it doesn’t matter, because the bowling soles are the same, they both slide. Another reason is the same style of shoe is made for men and women, which is more cost effective. Also, it benefits couples and mixed teams, who want to match and coordinate their team colors. Of course, I’m not pushing this idea! Then again, the draw back is, you do slide more at the line, as compared to the more expensive bowling shoes. But, these are colorful bowling shoes. Some of the colors are white/black, green/black, pink/black, blue/black, pink/white, yellow/black, orange/black, and just black/black or white/white for the less colorful bowlers.
So in this economy, if you want to save some money? The unisex universal bowling shoes maybe a place to start. Just watch your slide!
The Big Lebowski=Lebowski Party? | bowling apparel
The Big Lebowski Movie is the the new ‘Rocky Horror Picture Show’, especially the bowling apparel? Theaters are opening up for a revival and a new cult classic? Yes, dress up in your bowling apparel or costume, as your favorite Big Lebowski character, and come on down!
Since the Big Lebowski didn’t have a lot of hype, when it came out to the theaters in 1998, fans are getting their fill now on the big screen, plus. It’s amazing a movie that has been seen dozens of times, is still so popular? Well maybe because, it is now on the big screen again, or the movie goers get to dress up like their favorite characters and in their bowling apparel, or the White Russian-swilling drinks which are available, as supplies last, or just being with the hundreds and hundreds of fans? Then again, it could be the activities, like bobbing for severed toes, throwing a coffee mug at the Dude’s head, as he sits behind the desk, catch the marmot, or the late night atmosphere draw, when the unusual happens? There are even weekend-long festivals popping up around the country, too. Either way, lazy, cool, spiritual, laid back, easy going, slacker, or counter-cultural icon, “The Dude Is Back”!

Summer Cleaning for Fall Bowling Season? | bowling gear
If you are on a bowling league, the summertime is the off season for the majority of bowlers and their bowling gear. It’s like going to school, you’re off during the summer. So what do you do? Well some of my bowling buddies are golfing, motorcycling, boating at the lake, or on vacation. But if you’re a dedicated bowler, you’re thinking Fall League start up!
First you have to lay out your bowling strategy for the up coming season. Do you need a new custom bowling ball? How about a pair of new bowling shoes? Maybe a new wrist support or bowling glove? Then again, if you’re a early bird, be one of the first to order custom bowling shirts for the team? Or, find a bowling team sponsor?
What ever your bowling needs, this is the time to get organized. Check through your bowling gear, and see what can be repaired, cleaned, or replaced. For example, when was the last time you gave the bowling balls a really good cleaning? Or maybe you have a bowling ball in need of resurfacing or reconditioning. Check your finger grips or finger holes for excessive dirt build up, or needed repairs, like chips or cracks around the finger holes. How about your bowling shoes, need repairs, replacing, or just some polish? Don’t forget your bowling glove and wrist support, if they are in need of repairs or replacing? And, can the bowling shirts make it through one more season?
Why am I bring this up now? Well, you have time on your side, and this is bargain time for buying bowling gear. Bowling balls, bowling supplies, bowling bags, bowling shoes, and even bowling shirts are discounted during the off season. So, if you wanted to replace any of your bowling gear, now is the time to look around for deals. Because the prices will go up around the first of August, just in time for Fall Bowling League? Imagine that?
Why Buy a Custom Bowling Shirt?
Not all the teams have a custom bowling shirt, or can afford one. Our sponsor provides my team with custom bowling shirts, as well as sponsors of other teams. But some teams sponsor themselves, and buy their own custom bowling shirts.
Either way, a team bowling shirt does more than look nice. Compared to teams without custom bowling shirts, your team looks more organized, like a baseball or softball team. The custom bowling shirt establishes your team members, anywhere in the bowling center, as being apart of your team. As well as promoting the team as a group, and as a group effort during bowling. With team bowling shirts the individual has more team spirit and support of team members. I have been on teams without custom bowling shirts, and the closeness between the members is more casual than spirited. The team seems to be an individual effort, more than a team supported effort. If you have played on teams of any sport, I believe you would understand, that there is a big difference. An other point is, teams usually stay together longer with team shirts. Teams without custom bowling shirts are usually looking for one or two replacements each year, and sometimes during the year.
Now, if I convinced you of the team’s custom bowling shirts merits, then do it right! Don’t buy a common bowling shirt, but a shirt that is different than the other bowling teams. This makes your team stand out and easy to identify. If you are proud of your team, you want to stand out from the other teams. Think of it like marketing your team to the league and the bowling center. The team doesn’t need a new shirt every year either, as long as the members take care of their shirts.
Believing in yourself and your teammates, as well as team pride, goes a long way in promoting team spirit. Give it a try, and you may be surprised, what your team can do!

A Dexter Bowling Shoe Switches from Right to Left?
It’s called, universal bowling shoes? The Dexter bowling shoe can be switched from a right handed bowler, to a left handed bowler by just changing soles? So, if a bowler injured his or her right hand, they could start bowling left handed, without buying left handed bowling shoes? Well, I think, I like it. And of course, bowling shoe covers are included. A leather toe drag protector that stops slide sole peel back is a nice addition too.
This Dexter universal bowling shoe design is available for men, women, and youth bowlers. Matter a fact, Kelly Kulick, who won the PBA Tournament of Champions, was wearing the above bowling shoes. What will they think up next?
