Out of all the suggestions listed in this thread, I personally like "Easy Out" for a brand name.
New pool company, help pick our name!
- Thread starter Mustardeer
- Start date
Chalk Sucker
Or
Chalk, Sucker
Or
Chalk, Sucker
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice.
Deep Pockets
Off The Rail
- Wanna Play?
- Let's Play
- Cheap Sets
Although the last one uses the word cheap I still like it best of the three I am offering. In any case, don't get too wrapped up in the name. As mentioned earlier there are a lot of very successful companies out there with names that just kind of make you scratch your head.
For instance FUBU, an apparel company started in 1992 was enjoying annual sales of $350 million by 1998, and to date has sold over $8 billion. Most people think it stands for F***ed Up Beyond Use, but it actually stands for For Us, By Us.
Hey Mustardeer;
I like keeping it simple so here's my suggestion:
Grind
or Grind Gear
or Grinder (nah, to easy to confuse with Blimpie)
or Grind to Death...
these make me think of someone like Bartram who is tougher than a $2 steak and will play for 28 straight hours to get the cash.
hmmmm.....'Get The Cash' ain't bad either...
'Catch a gear' could be a nice double entendre possibility...
good luck with your biz idea.
best,
brian kc

Savage Strokes - with stylized “SS” bolt type thing going on somewhere, though you may cut down your customer base 
younger folks like anything savage though.
MeatSpin - omg does anyone else remember that terrible website?

What are you going to do to set your company a part?
Is some cheesy cliche' "billiards" name going to work?
How about designing your apparel company to "elevate" the style or perception of pool players to something more classy than that of "high school drop off/I might be a drug dealer or rob you" style of apparel.
Please don't just order a bunch of blank fitted hates and audacious t-shirts and hoodies from china and embroider or silkscreen your logo and call it a company. It's been done. Repeatedly.
Wasn't there a company that sponsored Johnny Archer and that trick shot guy that actually made some interesting clothing. Dressy, but also sporty? Was that company successful? Quite frankly, is the market place big enough for people wanting "pool player" apparel (whatever that is?)?
Instead of "Hustlin" or "Playas" or whatever else....think of a name with class...that doesn't have to necessarily relate to POOL, but you can still introduce your clothing to the billiard marketplace if that really interests you. Then, in the event the billiard world didn't react to your apparel and want to spend money- you could market it somewhere else.
Are you getting into business to make money, or just to make money from pool players....because making money off pool players is a tough road to hoe.
I wish you the best of luck.

I couldn't agree with this more. Every time a new pool apparel company comes out I buy a T-shirt or two to help support people supporting what I love. I have a bunch of shirts that no one has ever heard of and that I can't find on the internet anymore. And all of them were just a pre-made t-shirt with the new logo or slang stamped on it.
Also, I hope you intend on sponsoring a big time pro. I think the quoted post was referencing Universe Gear. Just like it, no one would have ever heard of Lights Out gear if they had not sponsored Sky Woodward when he started going nutty. No one would have ever heard of Brutal Gear if they had not picked up Sky Woodward.
None of my other "pre-mades" ever sponsored and they no longer exist.
