There are tons of brands and yoyo products that annoy me these days with their names.
‘Reticulated Return Tops’
Annoys the tech out of me.
I feel better now.

Oh man, Spinworthy. Like, what was that guy thinking? 
Juuuuust kidding Glen. I do like saying Spinworthy in Steve Irwin’s voice though.
Crikey! It’s a Spinworthy Harbinger!
Aw, I miss Steve 
. He was like, mr. Rogers status. Just an all around nice guy.

What annoys you about it? I dig the snake theme.

None of them annoy me anywhere near as much as when people add an unecessary s on to the end of the word ‘Lego’ to make it plural. Same goes for vinyl.

A return tops(amplified was the OG ART)
I don’t like how YYF and YYF are both shortened to YYF so I have to fully spell out YYF sometimes
No names really bother me that much though. I guess long names without a common abbreviation are a little annoying.
Except spinworthy, omg I hate them so much

I don’t know if there are any brand names I find annoying, but I do find it annoying when I have to research what the abbreviations that everyone uses are meant to “spell out”. Ex: CLYW, iLYY, A-RT, etc.
I will also say that I prefer yoyo brands that have names that reflect their countries of origin. For instance, I prefer a name like Sengoku over a name like Yoyo Recreations (or worse, Sturm Panzer) for a Japanese company.

I find most brand and yo-yo names to be either corny or cringey tbh.
I think the most corny/cringey is SturmPanzer and their yo-yo names, followed by Rebellion’s.
Like bruh it’s a yo-yo calm down.

What else is there to say except that this serves me right for making a post about annoying names.
I always figured Spinworthy was a pretty good name. It is fitting and simple.

I like anything that clearly communicates it’s a yo-yo company without being weird or over the top.
I love yo-yo, yoyofactory, Yoyorecreation, C3 YoYo Designs- great
Yoyojoker, yoyofficer - not feeling it
Individual yo-yo names are another rant entirely.

I like this too.
My name is actually Spinworthy Yoyos, but I didn’t include the ‘Yoyos’ in my logo and the initials ‘SY’ or ‘SWY’ don’t look as good as ‘SW’ I don’t think.

OPYOYOS annoys me because the concept is so good and simple it makes me wish I thought of it first.

Hm, I guess we Germans should have chosen Sturmpanzer then instead of ILYY.
That wouldn’t have been a bad marketing choice at all.

Magic YoYo. It just sounds like an American didn’t choose the name. Awesome company though.

Also agree that ART was the OG and A/RT just elbowed their way in using their fame to overshadow the original.
However, that being said, Canadians have to use Return Tops, and Americans do not, so the fact that US based ART chose to use “return tops” is also, not a great move.
I do not own either, for the record, or reasons unrelated.

This is important to remember as far as company names.

Which was first?
Amplified Return Tops (ART)
After that name was well established, Alternate Return Tops (A/RT)
They both stepped on each other’s toes in a way. ART by using Return Tops, and A/RT by using same acronym, but adding their own vanilla ice slash.
