 Idea for an upcoming model's name... The Sea King. It's a badass helicopter. Fits the military motif and might I add again: a badass helicopter.
Just an idea.

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... I listen to all the ideas, and enjoy the fact that people want to participate.
The names come to me from other people most of the time.
Torrent was from a good friend from another yoyo store.
5-star was from a nice guy on a yoyo team (not mine).
Hatrick was my idea.
General-yo fits military themes, but isnt all that.
There are BIG general names:
General-foods
General-mills
General-electric
Shouldnt there be a General-yo?

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... Interesting sidebar concept from the rocket business, called the GODS effect, General Orbital Decay Syndrome...sounds like a yoyo slowing down! So you can call a yoyo the General ODS (GODS)!  db

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... ^^
I love brain storming.
Excellent ideas, all of them!
Need to figure out how to full dress the yo.

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... i think the next general-yo should be called "Red Dawn" or something to do with the Soviet military would be cool, ooh i know do something totally different from the previous yoyos and call it something involving the soviet military, because their philosophy was totally different from that of the U.S.

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... Or, mayhaps, you'd prefer the serious Military Versions of General-Yo:
The Hogan's Heroes Special Yoyo Editions
Including those beloved yoyos...
The Colonel Klink and
The Sargent Schultz!

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... If the next yo-yo made is a departure from those that came before in the General Yo line, I think "Awol" or "The Cooler" would be very fitting.
Stepping away from the military terms, I think the name for the next throw should be something that describes the overall beauty of Ernie's yo-yos. Something like "horizon"(half deep blue, half light blue perhaps), or maybe "siren"(really confuse people. Female siren or military siren? I don't know)

Re: Idea for an upcoming model's name... while this is now a more commonly used phrase in american football, i think a yoyo named the Blitz would be a great name for a yoyo.
especially since its definition is "an immediate charge inward to defending lines from multiple fronts" and General-Yo has done just that, meaning it has come from a rather humble beginning to the forefront of yoyo making in so many different categories that the term blitz suits it quite well
others could think differently

others could think differently I would have to get that! My soccer team's name is Blitz.
