Huk 2025
NYWayfarer reply :
Huk (Pronounced "Hook")
Great gear no doubt but I get a lot of stares and questions when I am wearing it. Most common, "What's H-U-K?" Spelling out every letter. Or "What's Huck" and the one that might be specific for me since I am a comic book fan "Why are you wearing a Hulk hat?" They see a phantom "L" there...
Anyone else experience something similar?

No, since I don't own anything from them. At least now I know how to pronounce it, though.

I always thought "huck"...but why not use an accent character
over the u to give it the "oo" sound? 
J Francho reply :
Hük would be WAY too metal. m/

I did as well until I caught a random YouTube video from the company called "How do you say our name?"
punch reply :
I actually had one lady say "hook?" when reading my Huk shirt at the boat ramp the other day. I was shocked she got it right.

Ok, I get it now, BUT they could have used the actual phonetic
which is hʊk - notice the U is from the international phonetic
alphabet.
I actually think that would have made a cooler looking logo!

You need help, you're hooked on phonics.

Oh that's baaaad. 
Preytorien reply :
My wife wondered why they had to spell it that way, I told her it was just a fancy play on phonetics. That said she likes their boxer-briefs they sell at Cabelas. I just can't bring myself to pay 20-something bucks for a single pair of underwear......that is until she tells me she thinks they're sexy.

LOL. Marketing...they removed the diacritical mark over the u that gives it the OO sound! (**I'm having fun with this, and just playing with how we in America mess with pronunciation, spelling, phonetics, and so forth***) I actually think their products are pretty cul. Get it? <shows self out>
