yeah even after you buy the stuff, DON'T REVEAL PRICES/GOODS/ ANYTHING you receive, they will revoke your sponsor ship

is that the voice of expirience i hear calling?

Must be an industry standard when writing a contract. Every contract we've ever signed stipulated that we don't tell anyone what our contract was...I think it's because they have different levels and some get more than others and they don't want disention among their sponsored teams.

[Santy]

no, not from experience of it getting takin away, did get sponsored though, it was part of the contract, and yeah vike i'm guessing if like a novice team gets package A for 200 and another team gets the same package for 300, it wouldn;'t be good for the sponsor. And the general public does not pay the same price as a sponsored team, which might piss people off.

Yep, me and chubby saw it first hand checking out the Empire tent. The guy said "You are on an Empire sponsored team, you need to be wearing our stuff." He was wearing Dye pants.

I don't want to bust you bubble, but getting a sponsorship from Empire/NPS isn't THAT difficult. Do decent locally and they'll sponsor you. You have to buy their packages, which they sell to you at a discount because you are becoming a billboard for them. There are easier people to get sponsorships with, though, so it does take something to get a deal from them. Don't expect much at all from them, and they aren't gonna be making you shoot certain guns. Empire doesn't do gun sposnorships, they just do gear. If I had to pick any gear to wear though, it'd be them. I love their Fast Packs. The team I was on didn't waste time trying for sponsorships because our local shop gave us pretty much the same deals we could get from companies.
