I’ve been giving it a lot of thought. Delrin No Jive Compatible was a placeholder but I hadn’t thought of a good name yet. It’s a huge mouthful though. Well about a week and a half ago my best buddy pup passed away. I’m still a wreck about it.
His name was Gandalf but I don’t have it in me to license a LOTR name like Mark so impressively did. So I’m going to call this The G to honor him. After all look how gangster he was.
Real G’s live that no-jive lifestyle. Fitting and honorable.
Also, always positive vibes to you, especially now.
I LOVE the G. A great many moons ago when I was in the Army, my unit was on a field exercise on a dry lakebed near Aviano Italy. Being a low ranking enlisted soldier as I was, it was my duty to work in the kitchen for a day. The sergeant from the kitchen staff who wrangled us around all day called every last one of us “G-Dawg” all day. “Ay-yo G-Dawg… go wash dishes!!” “Ay-yo G-Dawg… clean that table!!” So I have literally considered myself to have been dubbed “G-Dawg” ever since. So as a properly appointed G-Dawg… I wholeheartedly endorse The G!!
A little too close, possibly license impeding
A little safer
I’m also down for the following in a more direct reference/honor of the throw’s namesake:
(This isn’t to say that I also fully endorse “The G” in any way, shape, or form)
His full name was Gandalf the Grey (he had those grey tinges in his hair even as a puppy) I do like the suggestions though, thank you.
I used ‘the White’ as an example, specifically because of the native delrin color, but any color will do. Felt a bit silly to make a whole list of the same name, but with different colors
His coloring literally made him look like he was wearing a leather, tough guy jacket
They’re heeeere.
Had to interrupt QA time to go to the docs. Hit 9 stalls in a row while waiting which for me who rarely gets to practice due to disability is just downright ridiculous. Loving it so far.
Haven’t gotten a chance to crack open the brass Pocket Watches yet.
The yye snapback is similar to the superyo renegade.
Sort of but not reversible
Oh gotcha
Ironic that back when those Renegades came out, I never saw anyone go imperial with one. Ever. Lol.
Heck I haven’t even changed mine imperial before….
Licence? What licence? You think LOTR owns some random Old Norse name that they nicked from the Catalogue of Dwarves? That’s absurd. You don’t need a licence from Nickelodeon to call something ‘Wanda’, or from Marvel to call something ‘Thor’. If you were going to make it a wizard with a beard you might have an issue but it’s a yoyo for crying out loud.
This would be sick nickel or copper plated 
You are correct that I would be in the right but that rarely stops anybody and I don’t really want to waste money on a lawyer if the decide to be pushy so I figured I would save myself the trouble. I don’t know how litigious they are.
I’ve been eyeing my shops plating options and will be trying them out sometime. They have a lot of cool options. Gold plating for a production run isn’t too expensive of add on honestly, but prototypes done with gold plated are expensive, so I haven’t tried it yet.
Easy and stress free is a good stance to take. No real need to become notable in any way unless that’s your goal. However for the make cool things and run mostly profit neutral concept of a business the knock off naming angle honestly fits the theme even better.
Do be careful with G remember G2 got a nice lawyer letter from yoyo factory when Jake was smaller just cause they didn’t like the branding competed with their yoyo named similarly. I don’t think they had a leg to stand on but still litigations where had. (I’ll note being sued by yyf would actually make return bottoms even cooler imho)
YYF is the only brand worth fighting in a Denny’s parking lot… I mean court of law.
