Yonex privately informed their distributors in Japan about YONEX OPEN JAPAN 2010 T-Shirt. The last day for those distributors to make order is May 19 and they will start sell from July 21. There are 2 designs of this year's T-shirt. One adopts Disney's most famous characters: Mickey and Donald. Last year's design took the Kanji idiom: Fast knife cuts the tangled skein--快刀乱麻.
Disney come to JPN? Good ness mate, suddenly got something to do w Disney characters? Better put Toy Story character/Incredibles. Its seems like Disney also want to promote & make wave in badminton mkt like how they diverse to action blockbusters like Prince of Persia, Sorcerer's Apprentice, Tron Legacy instead of just focus on 3D animation.
Disney started collaborating with Yonex since last year. Anyway there is a Universal Studio in Japan. Now might be working out with another Famous Character...
