@dunnzo....the zip ups and mock necks dont looks bad. its the button down collar jerseys that i dont like. They look kinda cheesy. I think most of the players thinks so too because you dont see a lot of those styles anymore. I think the first year the PBA started with Gemini those were the shirts guys wore. The players prolly asked for another style because most of them a re wearing the mock necks and half zip up jerseys. these NEW jerseys are all about marketing the sponsors.

@SmooveLefty Anything would be better than those collarless things they wear now that make the bowlers look like race car drivers. Yuck.

[SmooveLefty]

La Mode should bring back those old school style shirts. I'd bet they would be a hit.

[Astromchaser]

@Kjr0se The bowling center where I bowl still has the good old wooden lanes.

[BowlerScott]

Walter Ray will win 49 PBA titles in his career.

lol when walter ray said 15 or 20 i was like u should see you now lol 45 =D

It's kind of a shame that the old wooden lanes are being phased out, and being replaced by synthetic lanes. I miss the way the ball sounded when it made contact with the wooden lanes, it sounds really different when the ball hits the synthetic lanes now though. I guess Riviera Lanes in Ohio has probably gone to synthetic lanes by now.
