Designing the Jerseys.

This is not exactly how they will look as some of the "fonts" are incorrect. The "Kamloops" under the KMS logo will be the same font as their company logo (the program I used did not have the trebuchet font). The name and numbers on the back may be in a different font also... I was just experimenting with color.

The front logo, rear logo, and one shoulder is taken. Arm spots are still available. I will probably leave room for a Canadian flag (for when we travel to the USA) and an Oddballs logo on the right arm. The rear portion under where your pack sits will be covered in logos of the gun manufacturers that we use (Eclipse, Bob Long, DYE, Tippmann, Macdev, and Empire).

I will be asking for a $30 deposit on these from each team member before I send in the order. You can just bring it to Miami Vice or stop by my house. For the accountant types amongst us, I will have the invoices after the order.

I am also expecting the patches to be in this week. YAHOO!

The black parts in the pictures are the mesh which will run along both sides and under each arm.

All the decals are in and the patches are in the mail...

I have all the stickers (50 total, I kept six). Make sure you clean your gear before you try to stick them on as they don't seem to like to stick to paintball residue, oops. Still only $1 each (I have the receipt). I will bring them out on the 28th unless you want to pick them up.

The patches are also in the mail and will be great until we get our jerseys made up. Once we have the jerseys, my patch will be going on my pants somewhere. :)

I am still trying to get a few more sponsors.

The important thing to remember is how we as a team can benefit a sponsor besides just an advertising logo. I have already approached the following companies:

Kamloops Paintball Games (thanks, Aaron) -- where we play an awful lot, some of us have also helped out at the field (ask about price matching!)
Ntensity Customs (thanks, Shawn) -- where we will be getting the jerseys designed and made
Chameleon Creative (thanks, Chad) -- designed the Oddballs logo
KMS Tools (thanks, Larson) -- we buy lots of their paint for Outlaw games (they actually expanded their selection, it looks good and the prices are better than online)

Empire Paintball -- I sent off an application as most of us use their gear (mask, marker, pads, etc)


Hoping to get:
Paintballgear.ca -- another source of hard to find gear and the largest BC online store
Beverage/food company -- for those camping excursion events

And I know some of you have been asking employers who support community sport teams. Thanks!

Logos are starting to arrive

Here is the first batch of decals. More decals (same size) and arm patches will be here soon.



 

We are also looking at getting some custom jerseys made with the addition of sponsor logos. We have come up with a great list of businesses/companies that we support and would love to advertise/represent on and off the field. Hopefully, we can convince them to have their logos added to our jerseys and support our great team (we have had a fun year, eh?!). Hopefully they have some stickers too as I know where they will go!

Operation Overlord Completed

... With an astounding victory for the Axis team (Oddballs was Platoon I). Such a success that the allies surrendered Phase 4 as they could not get enough points to make a difference. Mud, mosquitos, thunder storm, and lots of welts... Operation Overlord lived up to the hype.

Check out the updated video and picture gallery.

Oddballs Logo

Yes, it is a Panda with large cahones. Thanks to Chad Fontaine from Chameleon Creative Graphic and Web Design, who did this in his spare time (which he has little of as he too has children).

Decals are ordered (30 Total @ $1.00 each, arrive approximately July 12th). Waiting on the final number for patches. They will be $7.50-$8.00 each and made out of PVC rubber (so they last) with a Velcro backing.

See the facebook page to sign up for patches.

Operation Overlord is almost here...

Pack your bags... and bring gumboots? Mosquito spray? Anti-fog? Okay, obviously the location at Greenwood, BC is going to be a little different than we are used to here in Kamloops. Prepare for a moist environment and pack your camping gear accordingly. I think I have dug up 3 different types of bug spray and now I need to find my tarp so I can create some form of canopy.

Prepare for the worst (wet, rain) and hope for the best (sun, sun, sun!).

Supergame 45 was great... Now we wait for Operation Overlord

You need to attend the event next year --- > If you like six tanks running around the field while guys with rocket launchers tried to take them out (you soon got sensitive to the sound of tanks approaching or launchers firing). Or if you like to surprise groups of 10-30 guys and shoot half a hopper into them. Or if you like to battle back and forth across a massive field for objectives all day in a tightly contested back and forth battle. Or if you like to flank the other team and shoot them as they casually walk back into play and then they later rush the two of you with 50-60 guys. Or if you like teammates (200 renegades) switching sides five minutes later and then shooting at you. Or if you like lasers, music, beer, smoke machines, and playing paintball all day with breaks only for air and paint.

Ya. It was awesome. Definitely going next year.

Now come on Operation Overlord!
