It is difficult to know how the game that came to be known as badminton evolved, however, the earliest known source is an ancient Greece drawing depicting a similar game played with a shuttlecock more than two thousand years ago. While it is unknown how and when it became the traditional game called “battledore and shuttlecock” in Europe by the late 16th century or Jeu de Volant which means “flying game” in French, it is generally accepted the game was played with a small hand paddle made of wood and a shuttlecock which was often called a “bird” because it was made with feathers. Over the course of the last 150 years the shuttlecock has had many iterations as depicted in this article. Historically, the shuttlecock was a small cork hemisphere with 16 goose feathers attached and weighing about 0.17 ounce (5 grams).
The Badminton Shuttlecock Cufflinks were shaped to elicit professionalism and sportsmanship in any field. Its inspired look from the shuttlecock made a big statement to always look on the brighter side, whether you lose or you win you should still hold that torch of sportsmanship with pride. No doubt while wearing this tie bar you’ll be the most appealing gentleman that ever played in the game of life.
