So you do or do not want the word Google in the design? I am confussed because you said use the Google logo, but stated that Google Bowling was a "play on words". Can you please clarify? Thanks!

nadean: Yes the word and the logo should be used in the design. Infact, Google Bowling or Google Bowling Team should certainly be used.

I really like the two created by Aristotel79, but number 11 i think has too much going on. You don't really know where to look.
And the one created by FMDdesign is rally well put together.
I love the rest but these are the ones that stuck out. -

So far we like 14 the best. The jerseys are retro; we were thinking 50s when we assigned them but 14 is more 18s. The main thing, though, is that it's pretty clearly retro and looks cool. Like something you might pick up at a thrift store.
We like 7s sneaking in of the SEO black hat logo. #1 has an interesting way of making the bowling ball out of the smile. #3 also hits a retro style - which is cool.
Number 32 might be on the right track, but it's not there yet.
We are leaning towards something like this for the front of the shirt: done with patches.

Just a word of warning to be careful with the parody. In the case you referenced, the seller was just using a smiley face.
You are using the actual Google name and logo.
One specific case doesn't equal permission in other situations.
I'm not a lawyer, but lawyers have been known to use the web to get evidence. The confusion that exists right here in this contest about using the Google logo can be used by them to say that your design would cause confusing with their trademark.
I don't want to put a downer on things, just offering a word of caution.

I agree with Rodney. This is not parody.
It is a misuse of an entity's identity. You should expect a cease and desist if Google were to come upon this.

Wow everyone - we're really blown away with the quality of the designs.
We're trying to decide on a winner, but will probably give out an additional $100 or so to a few of the other entrants that came really close.
Awesome work.
