another testimony! Good job Oakley!

Wonderful PR. You can't buy this sort of stuff.

this should be on the bloody eye link soon on o.com
if not, shame on Oakley.

i have put it on my FB page , thank you for these links. impressive

I was a bit disappointed to see in the one pic he was wearing another brand off the field though. Just sayin.

As long as he's wearing it on the field. Oakley's the de facto sports eyewear brand, but it's a far ways away in the streetwear, fashionwear and Rx categories.

True. I guess the "field/street" only goes for sponsored athletes, etc. Sidney Crosby for example wears an O visor and I've also seen him wearing O on the street.

Yeah, it's odd how some sponsorship deals work. A prime example is Omega watches and Daniel Craig. Omega has him as a brand ambassador (as is James Bond), yet he wears Rolex on many occassions in the very public eye (eg. award shows). I don't think he was slapped on the wrist for that, so it could be their deal is limited to Omega press conferences and photo ops.

In the case os Miguel Cabrera, I don't thik he is sponserd at all. My understandin is the radars he was wearing he picked up at the rolling o just that day.
