Drawing on influences from the past, the BritBowl XXII logo returns to a more familiar and traditional colour palette. Talking about the logo, BAFL Media and Marketing Director, Ken Walters commented, “We try to keep the BritBowl logos looking new and fresh every year. This year we return to BAFL Red and Blue – keeping it looking very British. We hope it will be a familiar sight in the media come September”.
In addition to the launch of the logo, you can listen to BAFL Chairman, Glen Schild, BAFL Operations Director, Mark Blyth and BAFL Media and Marketing Director, Ken Walters talk with Nuts TV presenter, OJ Borg on close season developments, plans for the future and their thoughts on who will be challenging for the titles come September on “… The road to BritBowl XXI Podcast…” – click here to listen…. and for those of you who have never been to BritBowl, you have a chance to sample the event by clicking here and viewing a thirty-five minute documentary recorded at last years event.
