    Maybe the dc logo is somewhere on that shirt....
    I haven't seen so many logos thrown over a shirt before!

    It is a team shirt for league play in that pic ;). And you surely will not find a DC logo on it since it is not even her :D, plus if she paid for them out of her own pocket/ thwack sponsorship kitty don't see a reason to either ... But they look as sweet as I imagined. What to sell, what to sell .... need 3 minimum :D

    Yeah, wrong pic, is why I wanted to edit the post! :(
    ....and on the body-parts valuation, notice that the brain doesn't even register on the scale. :p
    Does that mean thinking is overvalued? Let me think...

    A hand/forearm goes for about as much as a pint of blood! But I can sell blood about once a month. Selling a forearm makes badminton a wee bit difficult.

    Is that the trinity X-Treme? Or is that new red painted Trinity Pro? Well she doesn't have a sponsor from the back of her shirt but that is definitely something to look at, seeing your racket on the pro level. I wonder what she stenciled on there. From her opponent's perspective it would be a diagonal "P". Or it could be a question mark without the dot underneath it.

    It's the ReeAct logo, kinda looks like a P. Racket doesn't look like a PP to me though :p

    Yes, ReeAct as I mentioned before :p. Also that pic is from the archive, not taken at the recent EC ... But with some mangled imagination one can probably make it out to be "FZ" [​IMG]. Oh wait ... :D

    In any case pretty sure she is the one with the PP² (probably the good looking one before final revision ^^) since she dragged one of her sponsor's rackets along on the podium instead of the one she was playing with ;).
    It looks sick with sky blue BG80, will look sick with orange BG80P, red whatever & yellow YY ... drool.gif .

    Matte black FTW

    With regard to the mystery Panda-sponsored player, my money (based on some hints from Ailuropoda himself) is on either Germany or Czech Republic:).

    Seriously, it's not Germany. Most German players have Yonex contracts (except Juliane Schenk who's got Babolat). And I've seen no hints whatsoever, as no one used a suspiciously black racket (as opposed to Houmann :D). To bad my suspect was eliminated so early on. :D

    If it's a Czech player then maybe I can get my wife to let me buy another one for her since her country woman got a medal with one. ;)

    My money's still on a different player, but there's no footage of him/her. Grrr.

    He is still sponsored by Yonex and still playing with NS9900 and still listed on their website as advisory staff ;) (as also mentioned previous page(s)). He just doesn't have a shirt sponsor ...
    And @ dimcorner: there were no Czech medalists ;). Better not tell your wife so she won't find out you don't know what her flag looks like :p
