Is this as bad an idea as I think it is?

“Insured by American Outdoor Brands Corporation” just doesn’t have the same visual impact.

“American Outdoor Brands Corporation” — WORST NAME EVER, WHO EVER IS BEHIND THIS SHOULD BE FIRED.
To: Rio
Why? There is a lot of brand equity in that name.

Well, after slumping for the last eight years, I guess they had to do something to increase brand awareness.
It is Inprise, Unisys and Navistar all over again.

I sort of like “Make My Day Inc.” - kinda catchy...

First thought when I read this last week or so, and again now, is STUPID. What is wrong with the historical identity and name recognition and reputation of Smith & Wesson (S&W)?! If I were a stockholder, I’d be quite upset as I suspect this will hurt.

Smith and Wesson is such a non-inclusive name. It also is a constant reminder of the evil capitalists that exploited the Native American Indians by creating the firearms that destroyed them and their way of life by exterminating the buffalo. S&W must rid themselves of the evil reminders of their exploitive past or be disinvited from the parties of rich and beautiful.

If they are serious they should merge with VSTO, makers of many ammunition and gun related brands.

I suppose that they’ll also be manufactured in China as part of this package.
