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.
Phil Mickelson has filed a trademark for 'HIT BOMBS' indicating an intent to launch a 'HIT BOMBS' clothing line.
The filing (made on June 23rd) comes the same week that @PhilMickelson ends up leading an event entering the weekend for the first time since turning 50.#hitbombs pic.twitter.com/dfAGjjcJsI

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.
