I would post a photo of this bat logo, but I just bought a new computer and haven't got the photo program or much of anything else set up on it, yet.

I feel like I should KNOW this one, but it's just eluding me.

It's a gold logo on a natural bat - which is odd in itself - and the logo looks like a big, swooping capital 'D' without the upright, with a big 'W' sort of coming out of it, and then a small "cross-bar" between the two letters (?) that almost looks like it's forming an 'A'. And the word "bats" in small letters beneath that.

Ring a bell with anyone?

D-Bat or Diablo?

Only MLB-approved bat manufacturers I believe begin with a "D"

Yeah, like I say, the first part of the logo looks sort of like a 'D', but without the upright line, so I don't think it's supposed to represent a D - maybe a "T", the way some people write it...? This is a bat that was used in minor league spring training, so it could be some really small company. I will try to find a way to post a photo.

Found it! The first letter is supposed to be a 'J'.

JAW bats.

Pretty sure that's not a D-Bat, since there was no mention of a baseball diamond or the stars & stripes.

I don't think they're MLB authorized, so I'd guess it's likely a collegiate or minor league bat.

Godwulf that Jaw bat is pretty cool. I was at the scranton railriders game today and saw a player swinging a bat that's label was a horseshoe. Any ideas what company that is? I didn't get a great look at it unfortunately.
