Phil Mickelson files trademark for ‘Hit Bombs’; will clothing line follow?

A tweet indicates that Phil Mickelson is putting together a plan to start a new line of clothing in the future under the name “Hit Bombs.”

Phil Mickelson has always hit the long ball. And he’s certainly had a sense of style.

Now it looks like he’ll be attempting to bring the two together. A tweet from Josh Gerben, the founder of the Gerben Law Firm, indicates that Mickelson is putting the proper paperwork in place to start a new line of clothing in the future under the name “Hit Bombs.” The filing took place earlier this week.

Mickelson has been a little busy playing golf of late — he led this week’s Travelers Championship heading into the third round, but faltered with a 1-over 71 on Saturday to drop six shots off the lead.

He wouldn’t be the only high-profile golfer to enter into the apparel game. Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and a host of others — even Bill Murray — have released apparel lines.

However, the Hit Bombs line would be unique, and with Phil’s recent dedication to sunglasses, it wouldn’t surprise us to hear this is part of a bigger business strategy.
