I began by researching "crossed pistols"...

… which, it turns out, are symbolic in the military world of strength and readiness… pistols led to rifles… rifles led
to swords, sabres and cutlasses -- and then things got weird.


Images of all kinds of crossed implements started to appear: baseball bats, hockey sticks, golf clubs, pool cues, beer
bottles, martini glasses, lacrosse sticks, hammers, plungers, wrenches, and on and on.


Now what does all this, you’re thinking to yourself, have to do with poker chips and casino chips? I’m glad you asked!





And of course I can't forget my University of Virginia Cavaliers and their famous "crossed sabres" logo! grin
