Following on from the huge success of the Technical; Apparel Pant and glove, WDP have released the Angel Technical Apparel Playing Shirt. This shirt offers the same high performance of the pant and glove and is manufactured to the same exacting standard. The shirt has road tested by Joy Division for the past few months and the only complaints we hade were “can we have some more” the guys were astounded by the performance characteristics of the shirt.
The shirt is manufactured from light-weight ( up to 33% lighter than other branded playing shirts), ultra effective sweat wicking, technical synthetic fabric. The Angel technical shirt frees you from the restrictions of regular team jerseys
The body-mapped geometry of the design allows an unsurpassed freedom of movement whilst the ‘flow control’ air-mesh allows copious amounts of air to flow through the garment.
Keeping you cool under fire.

Huntington Beach – The Media!
Well we knew that HB04 was significant, and it is easy to say that it introduced more people to the sport, and reached an audience unprecedented in Paintball. What we need are hard numbers and figures to give us an idea of exactly how big this event was in terms of media coverage. Well, here they are, provided by Media Wave Consulting and the City of Huntington Beach. Media Wave are a company used by Pure Promotions to accurately detail the media coverage of their events, the following is a report issued to Pure after the event…
Summary
It is clear from the amount and quality of media coverage at Huntington
Beach that the sport has passed a major milestone. The reporters treated the event as an established professional sport with a huge following. With one minor exception there was no attempt to stir up controversy or negative aspects. The level of national coverage has exposed the Super 7 series to millions of new people.

Coverage -TV
The extraordinary television coverage began on Friday with KABC, the ABC network owned station in Los Angeles. They did 10 live reports into their morning show and Good Morning America time slots. The reporter was so impressed that they stayed to do four more live reports into their noon news show. That was followed by taped coverage in their evening news segment. Total Audience: 10 MILLION. KABC is also a Direct TV Super Station so an additional 20-30 million potential viewers saw this coverage.

ABC Network news syndication fed this same tape out Friday night to 225 ABC stations and 12 foreign outlets with a potential audience of over 100 million viewers.

Saturday the Fox News network covered the tournament and ran stories all afternoon and evening on the Fox News Network, which was seen by a potential worldwide audience of 50 million.

Newspapers
The targets were the regional newspapers with a goal of bringing people to the event and raising the awareness of the sport. A clean sweep here as the Los Angeles Times did a wonderful positive feature story with pictures. Their circulation and sales are well in excess of 3 million. It is important to note that their approach was to treat the event as professional event and not some oddity. There was also a superb story in the San Diego Union featuring Dynasty.

The Orange County Register did a full feature story with pictures that captured the excitement of professional Paintball. The story was carried by the Knight-Ryder syndication service which resulted in the story being reprinted in its’ entirety by the Miami Herald.

Overall, it can be assumed that potentially, nearly 200 million people saw the coverage of the Huntington Beach event.

Angel sales Stun WDP – needs pic
WDP’s sales locations, both in Huntington Beach and Birmingham (UK) have been stunned by the demand for the new Angel Fly. The new Angel, launched in March at Huntington Beach, is the fastest selling Angel ever. WDP’s Owen told us from the company’s California offices:

“I have had to move out to the states for 3 months to help the guys over here, things are crazy at the moment, we are making more product than ever before, but the demand for the Flys and Joy Division guns is still far out-stripping supply.”

WDP have also organized a series of Tech Classes to educate stores on the new Angel models. 2004 Fly Classes have already been held in New York, Huntington Beach, Moscow (Russia) and Stockholm (Sweden).
