I almost burst my zubaz with excitement when I saw that the nifty pants worn by the Norwegian curling team (motto: “Stop calling us the Danish curling team”) at the Canadian Winter Olympics (motto: “Stop calling us the Athens Summer Olympics of Winter”) were from Sonoma County’s own Loudmouth Golf, a company which I have been avidly following since they first showed up in my google alerts seven minutes ago.
Also good for golf.
The Sonoma County company states on their website that they put the fun back in golf with their crazy patterned pants, shorts, skorts and divot repair tools. (Note to golfers: the fun left golf the day before the release of Caddyshack II)
It’s no surprise that the pants come from Sonoma County – as the San Francisco Bay Area is a hotbed of pants innovation. Witness the amazing rise of parachute pants when MC Hammer ruled California, his pants being seen all over California, from Oakland to Sactown, the Bay Area and back down.
Coming to the 2014 US Biathlon Team
But back to the pants. How popular are Sonoma County’s own Loudmouth Golf pants for the Norwegian Curling team? As of this writing, the Facebook Fan Page for the pants stood at 455,420 fans, which is 11% of the total population of Norway. (But not of Denmark.)
If the pants have this many fans, wonder how many fans the team has?
