yeah, whats up with this apacs brand thing?is ina not sponsored by yonex no more? TH, MK/HS are still sponsored by yonex, vita, lily, nova, sony aren't... i've noticed even though nova & lily were wearing apacs jerseys and their strings had apacs logos on them, their rackets are still yonex (saw the classic green logo at the bottom of the rackets) i hope this is temporary due to PBSI's lack of funds...perhaps apacs sponsors their former clubs... can anyone please confirm this? thx
I do notice them... ..there are 2 of them. And they're sitting right smack @ the center, at the top seating row of the VIP area (2nd row). pjswift (white tees) on the left and Jen on the right (dark tees)...There could be others, but i think those are the ones i could figure out.
wow,wong mew choo red outfit was so nice and beautiful too..hehe.. too bad astro didnt broadcast that match..HAIZ
Live Photos hi everyone Since photos are always better in bigger, we're now doing a live photo gallery on badzine that we'll try to update everyday in big events Here goes for the first days of the SS finals in KK : http://www.badzine.info/index.php?option=com_wmtsimpleflashgallery&Itemid=80 Enjoy (and please, don't copy and paste them on BC, you can copy the link however) Thanks
Sony's club is sponsored by Reinforce Speed till now. why should be temporary ? currently PBSI under new negotiation with sponsors ..... we want to see other than YY to be in badminton field and as sponsors for world players ... Thai mixed-double is with Victor now ...... Pi Hongyan with Babolat Zhou Mi with Head England players with Carlton (this is former top brand in badminton) Vita, Lily, Nova and Flandy are now with Flypower SDK with APACS
Those could be.. ..the work of friscod, the official photographer of the tourney. Btw, i like the capture of the last pic.
Good question. Yonex basically dominates the world of badminton as far racket supplies goes. The simple reason is because they pump money into racket development and Sponsorship. If other brands pay their players as much or more then Yonex, wouldn't you think that they'll use other brands, or if their equipment is as good, you'll have more variety of brands used by other professionals. If other brands like Sotx, Head, Carlton, and etc... are as into badminton as Yonex, why don't they have their brand sponsored tournaments. Yonex pump money into the badminton scene to make it big and yet some of you are complaining.
Hey, easy now abedeng! Are you trying to pull me into this thread? Actually I alerted HHY to your stalking tendencies
i really hope its temporary because yonex is still badminton's biggest sponsor, its contracts involve a lot more money than other brands. i dont think apacs' contracts has more $$ than yonex. what do you think? its always a good thing to consider more sponsors rather than depending on just the one. but i'd keep yonex as the main sponsor, and hopefully pbsi can negotiate new contracts with big companies like indofood, or any company that's willing.
from The Star This should explained a lot why indonesians in the SS final wearing variety of sponsors' name: http://thestar.com.my/sports/story.asp?file=/2008/12/20/sports/2860041&sec=sports
