do you think AGD should sponsor a pro paintball team?

[teamkamakazee]

what do you guys think just post what you think. there is no wrong opinion in this thread speak your mind. WELL ON THIS SUBJECT ATLEAST!

[abarnhar]

What about Blackcell?

[teamkamakazee]

im talking a nppl world cup paintball team you never see them of even here of them in any fo those big events

[joshweinerhead]

definately .. im tired of seeing agd as a company of paintballs past .. when i bust out my rt on the field people say that it is antique .. i want an all xmag / emag team that will rip up the tournament scene ... lets go agd ...

[teamkamakazee]

thast what im talking about i totally agree

[Dayspring]

Storm plays over in Europe. And they are an AGD-sponsored Pro team.

Any other team that AGD sponsors is below the pro level. (AFAIK)

[Woogie12]

I think that it would help and get AGD's name out there as a company that produces awesome electros like the e and X-mag. The public doesn't really know what those guns are capable of and what they have to offer.

[Dayspring]

Well, if what Tom Cole (Captain of Bad Company) says is true, AGD would need to throw down $250,000 to sponsor a pro team. (Includes travel, fees, etc.)

(We had a long talk at the Megameet in regards to what it takes to run/sponsor a pro level team.)

[joshweinerhead]

ouch ...250 g's is alot .. thats insane

[Woogie12]

Think of the recognition though. Mags will be back in mainstream big time.

[joshweinerhead]

well everyone thinks mag's suck ... look at tippmann effect ... they rocked the IAO .. their 5 man pulled a 1 on 5 and WON! ... thats skill .... lets show them that mags dont suck

[teamkamakazee]

i think if agd wants to get there name out they need to hook up someone that is super good like dynasty

[Dayspring]

You gonna help foot THAT bill?

You know what SP just paid Dynasty to get them?

$30,000 a player, plus $100 from every Dynasty edition gun they sell. That's not even guns/tanks yet.


Sure, anybody can pay the fees and say "we're a pro team." but if it's going to be done RIGHT, it'll cost LOTS of $. That's like taking a years' worth of Emag sales and crossing it off the books. AGD's not as big a company as you might think to be able to bank that.

Besides, I think taking Skyball last year is a great accomplishment from a non-pro team.

[magman007]

well lets see, we used to have the jax warriors, and agd and them went seperate ways.

Agd kids tear it up, and you all know thats true.

agd really doenst need a pro team, because look, no matter what, the publics opinion of the mag isnt going to change that easily.

the kids tore it up at skyball, most of their local tournies, the 2002 World Cup, and at IAO. but you dont see much recognition going to the mag from that do you?


do you see people going out and buying tippmans because tippman effect rules? no... the mag is old guys, im sorry.

it just doesnt compete as well as it could intodays market. low efficiency, weight, and lack of overall flair...
