I don't think that sponsoring a pro team would help much, what they need to do is work some kind of small sponsorship (like free AO barrel bags) for good local(each state?) all mag teams in exchange for the team putting AGD on their jerseys and only shooting mags, alot of mag users would gladly wear AGD for very little(I would love to say I was AGD sponsored even I all I got was a free sticker). I think that if a local team using all mags at a tourny wins alot and lets everyone see in person that mags can compeat with every thing else it will do more than one big name pro team($250,000 would buy alot of barrel bags or stickers) For example in Vernal this comming spring and summer there is going to be a city sponsored televised tourney circut, to date my team has NEVER lost to any other local team, while a team like mine wouldn't affect the whole nation it definatly affects the local scene, and we have proved time and time again that people see our gear and sponsors, and want the gear from them, instead of the high and mighty tourney players that 95% of the worlds players will never meet have the good local seeable and available teams represent AGD. I think consentrating on cheap/nearly free sponsorships for good small teams would be money better spent than a large portion on a pro team. Just my thoughts on it.

This year we had so many people comming up to us and asking you guys are the team that AGD sponsors. Then they ask to see are guns evryone on BLACKCELL have their Mags with Warps. I also have been is stores gettting a tank filled and people see my gun and ask. BLACKCELL will pimp out AGD every chance we have. This year people are going to see and fear BLACKCELL and AGD

I like bryceeden's idea...I think that going for pro level may get you the visibility, but it's not worth it. As it is, AGD seems to be a low-profile company. Hell, I never knew what a mag was until I spotted some kid at a local field with one, and had him strip it apart and explain the basics of it to me. From what I've seen, people just simply don't know much about mags, or else don't associate them at first glance as being really high-end guns. If there were more people out there using them at local fields, in local tournies, I'd say it would probably do wonders for AGD. The trick is in making it look cool. Once you've got that done..

Well, if AGD wants to remain a small company that practically no new players have even heard about, fine, carry on as they are. But if they want to "play with the big boys"(WGP, WDP, SP), then they need to invest some money. It takes spending money to make money.
Word of mouth(AO) can only take you so far(which it has).
I'd like to see AGD compete with the others. I know the guns can, I'm talking marketing and company size.

i agree it would be a big investment... but if you think about it 250,000 is only like 200 or so x mags give or take a few .... plus wouldent you get money back if people started buying AGD stuff because they finally saw it perform on the field? mags really need some exposure because i know people who dont even know what an emag is and once they see mine on the field have a million questions about it and they really get a kick out of the lvl ten.if more people just saw mags performance then they would be sold on them IMO...it might be risky because they might not get a big boost in sales and that could hurt. but if they want to expand then it may be a risk agd will have to take.

He was offering the fact that the guy isnt wearing a vforce mask as proof that he isnt on the all americans or philly americans, because they are sponsored by v-force, and wear thier v-force masks all the time.

They can wear whatever the hell they want in practice.

Maybe AGD should sponsor even a decent amateur team. Look what Trauma did for the Matrix.

Nope it would be around 1000 XMAGS By the time AGD is done making the gun the profit is not as much as you think
