I almost make a thread on this. Their logo is an alien, why would it not be pronounced U.F.O. lol

Yet they put an alien in the logo and expect us not to say U.F.O.

UFO is legit, I get 45% a well known plastic company and still pay less ordering ufo from Europe

It sounded like they made the commercial with AI and it just screwed up the pronunciation

People who "study" U.F.O.s call themselves ufologists, and I've heard people say it as a word while talking about U.F.O.s, so who knows?

It's an Italian company and even though Italian has adopted the English acronym UFO, they don't say it as an acronym (which would also sound different) but they read it as a word.

Regardless of pronunciation, I can definitely vouch that UFO is legit.  I've been using UFO airbox covers to make the 3DP intake scoops for a while now and they have been great to deal with, plus my order is usually here within a week of ordering which is very impressive for international shipping.

There was UFO commercials on Speedvision or ESPN 25 years ago and they pronounced it Uuuuffffooo  and it floored me then. They would say Uuuufffooo plast with them never sounding like they finished the word plastic. Funny the odd things you remember.

Its pretty dumb their logo is of an alien, yet they dont pronounce it u.f.o. Calling it youfoe makes no sense, thats not an actual word and nobody has ever said that b4. Just call the damn thing UFO.

Yup, Dave the owner of Tuff closed up and he was managing a WSX team the last I heard.  I used to deal with him when I was ordering direct. Always amazed me that every order I made went through him. And he didn't have a bigger staff. I think it was just a couple guys. Hope he is doing well.

 

What brand will be the next to come out and say Dude, You guys have been saying it wrong for the past 30 years ?  

 

Is WPS really pronounced as Wooppees ?  

 

 Is UFO just saying that's the correct way to say it so that people start talking about them more?

There’s 90,s cr,s on fb with TUF racing seat covers & graphics.  I ordered a 87 cr blue seat cover from TJ . With TUF. On it to freak people into thinking TUF racing is back.   When I called TJ the  guy said he was working on a TUF racing sticker.

I don't understand the problem. I was told 20 years ago it was pronounced (you foe). I've never called it U.F.O. even when the alien was in the logo. Their rep told us 2 decades ago...

I always thought this was a region specific thing kinda like how Europe pronounces PRO X “prahx”.

Or like Acerbis . I always thought it was ah-sir-bis but apparently it's ah-chair-bees or something to that effect .

AXO was an italian company too. They said fk the US years ago. I still have my AXO gear from the 90's era of Bradshaw. 

 

Was it A. X. O.? or 

Axe-O?
