    Yonex seems to be repackaging the venerable Yonex Tournament shuttlecock. 308482_262207123821803_229081433801039_710804_1227338065_n.jpg

    description in Japanese, can someone translate?

    ヨネックスオープンジャパンはおかげさまで2011年、30周年を迎えることができました。今回は、来場者の皆様にお渡ししました『YONEX OPEN JAPAN & BADMINTON HISTORY』(通称ヒストリーブック)についてご紹介します。製作開始は2011年の年明けからです。資料元となったのは、社内の倉庫に眠る写真、歴代の大会プログラム、そして、当時のバドミントンマガジン編集記事など。編集作業は、それぞれとの突き合わせから始まりましたが、なんといっても、歴代のアイテム収集にはホント苦労しました。例えば、シャトルコック「トーナメント」。発売来の旧デザインは保管されてましたが、1982年頃のものはみつからず。結果的には、社外のある方からお借りすることになりましたが、そのデザインはこれです。皆様のご自宅にも、旧デザインのなつかしいシャトルコックが残っていませんか?

    Repackaging seems to be their thing these days.. seems like they are looking more backwards on their glory-days than forward, these days.. sigh :-(

    1993 and 1972 packaging looks so much better.
