What's the deal with that insurance agent shirt?

I'm speaking of the scene when Hannah and Mickey are arguing on the street after finding out he's sterile. Woody is wearing a simple button down that has the logo of what looks like some local insurance agent printed on the back. It's way too conspicuous to be an unintentional advertising thing. Did this guy give the movie some financial backing or something? I'd love to know what that's about, as it seems totally uncharacteristic of Allen.

Yeah, that was pretty weird.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

It's a bowling shirt. Either the character was in a bowling league or more likely bought the shirt at a thrift shop. Bowling leagues are sometimes sponsored by local businesses, it was not product placement or advertising.
