Just wondering guys but do we have or are we looking at getting sponsorship?
Probably a bit early for me to be thinking like this but just trying to be pro active and help the team move forward.

I think it has been discussed before but it's not moved on that I know of mate. Would be a good idea to look into it though

Ok we'll from previous experience, we need to come up with some goals, achievements, plans, and probably tournaments that we plan on playing in as a team or sponsors won't even consider us. They ask for these in the application. I have a list of companies to approach but we must talk things through first. Who is the team captain because they ask this too?

Team Captain In my eyes that would be GODFORBID but we haven't got a Captain but do believe we should have at least 1 person who we can turn to when me mother is not around lol

I had a feeling his name would pop up but thought I should ask first. I'm sure it'll be discussed when more people have been on and we can discuss a game plan.
By all means guys please tell me if I'm going to far here considering I've met none of you.

Good ideas guys. Personally I'd steer away from "sponsorship" as I really don't think this exists unless you're really at the top pro level. The best we can hope for are deals, percentages off from shops such BZ or Lips or something and maybe discount rates for new gear from manufacturers like Planet Eclipse for example. I am almost certain we can get these deals without having to plaster their adverts all over ourselves etc. However if it's a road we want to go down as a team then I have no problem with it and I'll help out as much as possible. As for team captains we don't really have one. I have taken a sort of "emissary" role I guess but from the start we've steered away from leadership and military style rankings to try to keep it fun for everyone and keep everyone involved, it means everyone is equal and everyone can make their own decisions and everyone gets to vote on everything etc. We do however have 5 of us who paid for this website, and we have our own little forum in there and I think it's only right that those who paid towards the team and went that extra mile get the extra mile in return, but that's all really By all means, throw some ideas around, name some manufacturer and lets see what we can pull off. We're closing in on 20 members and imo that's pretty big paintball team wise and we should be able to branch out into all realms of paintball, supair & scenario etc.

I completely agree, we obviously won't get full sponsorship because this is as you you said pro level paintball but many companies are offering sort of "starter level" packages (which are mainly discounts) for new teams in order to help the sport to grow. We just need a game plan is all.

Well let's get some ideas together, what would everyone want? What do you guys need? For example, who would be interested in a team NG jersey, patches or things like that? Would discount from manufacturers be of interest to anyone? For example if we could get 30% off a new Ego if we bought 5 or so, who would want something like that? Personally I'm not rich enough at the moment for the last one, but I'd be interested in team jerseys etc. Lets find out what we want as a team and then lets see what the best we can do is Good job btw Steve

I think team jerseys and patches would be a great start, we can the move to santanas or hats. Discounts on paint is always a good one too. Oh and carbon fibre bottle would be nice

Thanks GodForbid,
Shirts was originally how I got onto sponsors. As I was looking at custom jerseys on the net, every website asked how many sponsors do you want on the shirt which was when I asked the question of sponsorship. If we're not too bothered about having sponsors on jerseys then I say we go for it and look at some designs. Me and Gunhawk are defo in for Jerseys.
