One of Walter's trademark characteristics is his near-constant wearing of personalized bowling shirts throughout the duration of The Big Lebowski. Upon further inspection, though, it's apparent that not a single one of these personalized bowling shirts actually bears the name Walter.

This little hidden detail is a great way for the Coens to further develop Walter's character without ever calling attention to it in the dialogue.

It shows that Walter wants to look the look of a professional bowler, but doesn't have the time or the money (or even the desire) to make his personalized bowling shirts display his own name.
