While watching the FLW Guntersville weigh-ins the Elite Series anglers wore their jerseys and the BASS logos were there for all to see. I know in Elite events they don't allow competing trail logos. I would have thought the FLW was the same.
The logo and sponsor promotion issues seem to be in constant flux anymore. If you tournament fish nowadays you need to read the rules before every tournament and a couple times during the tournament!
I was just really surprised how prominent the BASS logos were at the weigh-in. As I said, at the Marshal meetings I've been at the B.A.S.S. officiates make a big point of saying that you can't wear clothing that has logos from competing trails. I wonder when the TV show comes out if they won't blur the logos.
They might. I know FLW changed their policy significantly recently but it has always been more aimed at businesses competing with their major sponsors more than businesses competing with them.
