It's a high quality Nike golf umbrella with the firm logo displayed in a modest way. I work for a competitor now, but I still use the umbrella and just pray that a partner doesn't see me walking down the street with it. Ha ha. My least favorite item I ever received was a golf shirt emblazoned with my company's logo. We all received the shirt in Large - regardless of gender or body frame - and it was quite unflattering. I threw is away the day I wore it to the gym (only place I thought it was safe to wear such a potato sack) and someone said to me "Oh, it's so nice to see an expectant mother so committed to physical fitness during this special time."

I don't care whose name is one it... unless I find it offensive or something. I live for free bags, mugs, pens and whatnot I get from professional conferences. Practical items for free, yes!

Hats, shirts, bags, posters, special DVD packs...there was something new every day, but more importantly, the stuff was actually pretty cool.
