How do we feel about "branding"?

[Timothy Q]

It's really all in the name of the thread. I'm curious what everyone thinks/prefers when it comes to company logos on our stuff. I've kind of always hated it (Unless you want to give me free stuff. I'm looking at you Ping and Titleist...) but it is what it is.

Do you guys prefer to flaunt your brands with the big logos or fly under the radar as much as you can these days?

I don't care really. I have a giant PING staff bag but its because I like classic bags and got it for $6 at a yard sale. The only PING club in it is an occasional putter.  If a driver or whatever comes with a headcover I will use it.  I have ordered a correct headcover for a club off ebay.  The classic set in my sig is carried in a plain black old Miller with generic black barrel headcovers.

I would score  one of those black and white Titleist Staff bags for my other set if I find a steal, but if it was the blacked out version, all the better.

Personally I don't care to be an used as an advertisement for someone else' product and I don't feel the desire to let others know what brands I like.    My bag is a Sun Mountain with very low key (and almost un-noticeable) logo, factory headcovers are all replaced by knit pom covers, and my hats are always from a place I've played but never any manufacturer's brand.    But if any manufacturers wish to start paying me endorsement dollars, all of the above can be changed!

I don't care much.  All else being equal, I'd opt for an unbranded piece of equipment, but I don't really mind.

I like brand logos to a certain point.  Im all for wearing a hat or shirt with the logo of my favorite golf companies on it.

I like logo stuff. Looks better than a plain bag or apparel to me. But to each their own!!
