Want Nike In Paintball?

[P8ntballerAK]

Hello fellow targets,
here is the scoop, I talked to nike about a possible sponsorship for my paintball association. They seemed interested, but there was a problem. They had no idea where to include our sport. So if we want NIKE in paintball, then lsts show them we mean business.
I have an address to submit requests to make a paintball line and such. so write nike and tell them we want them there. also post this on every forum you can so we let them know. I will get the information for ADIDAS, Reebok, and loads of others for us to write later on. OK HERE IT IS!!

I know they already make cleats designed for soccer, baseball, and foot ball. I think they should design a cleat pattern strictly for paintball. Then they would have another market. Maybe make them out of some slick material so paint won't stick on them.. but they'll still grip the ground. Adidas would be a much nicer company to have around paintball IMO. I think an ADIDAS Samba paintball cleat would be nice. Anyway..good luck. I personally think there are already tooo many companies making waaayyy too much money off paintball. Just my .02

What should we say if we call them? Is there a 1-800 number?

[P8ntballerAK]

no thers is not a 1800 number, if you call them ask to talk to the sports marketing department, they will ask if they can know what it is regaurding, you say no thanks I want to speak to a person in the department please. if you say why your calling they will send you to an automated "we do not accept new ideas for merchandise" recording and then hang up on you.

this will not be easy
but anything worth doing isnt easy. I need everyones support here, all those players that think someone else will write or call, don't, you are that someone else.

lets do it.

Corprate America will ruin Paintball the same as it has ruined every other sport. Pretty soon it will be the 'Budweiser Iromen' and 'Skirmish, IBM.'

^^^^^^^^^ i agree

[AllAmericanMag]

I like this sport the way it is :)

[than205]

I agree with the last three.
But as we grow the corporate types will see our money and come running.
I can wait till they find on their own.

i dont know budwiser iron men sounds pretty cool! they use empty kegs for bunkers!

[paintslinger]

nike making paintball cleats would be kool aslong as they aren't over priced like the vans(80 bucks ). and make sure they are pretty too b/c all the current paintball shoes are totaly FUGLY. they could also make gloves and possibly jeresys and maybe pants.

[P8ntballerAK]

so talk to nike.
if you guys dont want paintball to go corporate , then go back to woods games and stay out of tourneys. where do you think the tourney's are headed? they wont stay the way they are forever, and if we control how and when corporate america comes into the sport, we will control the sport.

I think that when paintball hits corporate sponsor-dom, we know we're all set. Paint prices will need to fall, and it will need to gain widespread interest before that side-effect occurs, so bring on Pepsi Dynasty! :)
